Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Toss half the chickpeas with 1 tsp oil, and half the ras el hanout. Tip onto a lined baking tray and bake for 25 mins until crisp.
Meanwhile, blitz the remaining chickpeas in a food processor with the tahini, 1 crushed garlic clove and half the lemon zest and juice. Add enough of the reserved chickpea water (about 3 tbsp) to make a smooth paste. Season to taste, adding more lemon juice, if you like.
Preheat the grill to medium. In a large bowl, mix the lamb mince with the remaining garlic, lemon zest and ras el hanout, and the mango chutney; season. Divide into 8 and shape into 10cm-long sausages around 8 small skewers (soaked if wooden). Brush all over with 1 tsp oil, then place on a baking tray and grill, turning regularly, for 9-10 mins or until cooked through.
Mix the cucumber, pomegranate and mint with a squeeze of lemon juice; season. Put the houmous on a plate or serving platter, add a pinch of ras el hanout and drizzle with a little olive oil, if you like. Top with the kofte and the crispy chickpeas. Serve with the salad on the side, and flatbreads, if you like.
