Spiced Chickpea Pancakes with Greens & Smokey Tahini

A stunning and simple plant-focused plate! The pancakes are made with chickpea flour, sparkling water and spices, topped with greens and a smokey tahini sauce. You can have a lot of flavourful fun with this basic recipe switching up the toppings to suit your tastes and food style.

It is excellent topped with crumbled feta or tofu, sliced avocado + arugula, refried beans and a fried egg; you could even turn it into a pizza-style affair by adding your favourite toppings. You can cook this without oil in a good non-stick fry pan, using a splash of water between pancakes. If you like cooking with oil, you can; it tastes great!

Chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free, so it fits with an anti-inflammatory-focused diet. Chickpeas are a rich source of plant-based protein and help to balance blood sugar and cholesterol; the high fibre content supports a healthy digestive system.
