Drain the cooked chickpeas and let them become lukewarm; if they are cold, warm them gently before serving.
For the tarator sauce, put the tahini in a bowl, add the vinegar, and whisk; the tahini will thicken and turn glossy.
Add the lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of water drop by drop until you have a smooth, pourable sauce; work in the olive oil at the end.
Spread the lukewarm chickpeas on a shallow serving plate, drizzle the tarator sauce evenly over them, and toss lightly without crushing.
Scatter finely chopped red onion and parsley on top, rest for 5 minutes at room temperature, and serve.
💡 Tip: The tarator sauce needs a smooth texture; loosen the tahini first with vinegar, then add lemon juice and a few drops of water little by little to reduce the risk of crushing the chickpeas.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread it on a shallow plate, scatter tomato cubes, red onion, parsley, and sumac over the top, and serve warm with flatbread or bulgur pilaf.
