Ingredients
- 120 g (1 cup) chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for pan frying
- 1 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- ½ cup parsley, roughly chopped
- ½ cup coriander, roughly chopped
- 1 long green chilli
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper, to season
- 2 tsp baking powder
Tarator sauce
- 135 g (½ cup) tahini
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ tsp salt
To serve
- rocket leaves
- Lebanese pickles
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Combine the chickpea flour, olive oil and 250 ml (1 cup) water in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Place the remaining ingredients in a small food processor and process to a coarse consistency. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the chickpea flour batter and a pinch of salt to a thick batter consistency.
- Heat about 1 cm olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Working in batches, fry ladles of batter for a few minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
- For the tarator sauce, blend the ingredients with 125 ml (½ cup) water – the sauce should be a drizzling consistency.
- Top the pancakes with rocket, drizzle with the tarator sauce and serve with pickles and lemon wedges.
