Healthy pancakes with chickpea flour. Not everyone is familiar with chickpeas and certainly not with chickpea flour. This is not surprising, since it is not used that much in Dutch cuisine. Too bad, because chickpeas are very healthy and easy to use in many recipes.

Ingredients

110 grams of chickpea flour
200 ml water
1/4 teaspoon salt

10 grams of pine nuts
half an avocado

How to make pancakes with chickpea flour?

Put the chickpea flour, baking soda and the normal salt in a mixing bowl. Mix the water little by little and mix it into a smooth mix.
Cut the chicken fillet into small cubes and finely chop the shallot. Squeeze the garlic cloves in a pan with some olive oil and add the shallot and the chicken fillet. Season with some pepper, paprika powder and salt. Bake the chicken fillet lightly until golden brown.
If the chicken fillet is cooked, take half out of the pan and put on a separate plate. Half of the chicken is now in the pan.
With a tablespoon, pour some of the chickpeas mixture into the pan (medium heat). Press half olives in the pancake, along with half of pine nuts and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds. After about 3 minutes, turn the pancake if it is nice and golden brown.
When the pancake is turned over you can also put some of the spinach on the pancake. Meanwhile, cut the avocado into small cubes and make a bed of spinach on a plate, the other pieces of chicken and avocado.
If the pancake is nicely golden brown on both sides (3 minutes per side), scoop it on the spinach bed and garnish with some spinach.
