Roast the sunflower seeds in the olive oil, add the tomato pieces and sauté. Drain and add the chickpeas. Add salt, sugar, cayenne pepper and cinnamon and simmer on a low flame for about 10 minutes. Stir in mint leaves and parsley, season with pepper. Possibly add seasoning to the cinnamon.
Tip: half a teaspoon of cumin gives the salad a touch of oriental flavor (but not everyone likes).
The chickpea salad tastes best lukewarm, but can also be eaten cold. The next day it tastes even better!
