In our private chickpea dishes canon there are a few tested positions and it doesn't change too much, just like canons do. We've been adoring chickpea curry, falafel and hummus since ages. And probably this canon wouldn't be touched but a serious competitior appeared on the horizon. It's a chickpea pancake.
Yes, yes, this inconspicuous pancake is a black horse in the race for the name of the best chickpea dish. It looks quite banal, it mostly consists of chickpea flour and water but it gives you a huge choice when it comes to vegetables to add. It doesn't require a lot of time, it intrigues with unusual flavour and it really makes you full. It's perfect for a nutritious breakfast, a snack or for dinner. In addition, it doesn't contain gluten.
So if you haven't try it yet, don't regret, just buy chickpea flour, make pancakes and taste!
Chickpea pancake with vegetables
Ingredients (2 pancakes):
3/4 cup chickpea flour
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 small leek (white part)
1/2 red bell pepper
oil for frying
In a bowl, mix chickpea flour with salt and baking powder. Add water and whisk until ingredients are combined and there're no clumps.
Finely chop bell pepper and leek and add to the batter.
Spray a pan with a drop of oil and heat it well. Pour a half of the batter on a pan and spread it evenly and quickly. Fry around 5 minutes and then flip it and fry another 5 minutes. Repeat with the other half of the batter.
Serve with soy mayo and vegetables of your choice.
