Drain and season the chickpeas, then bake them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the kalamata olives and spinach, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the tahini, sumac and lemon juice for 2 minutes.

Cook the orzo separately and drain.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 9 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the orzo, garnished with fresh herbs.
