Ingredients
- 150g chickpea flour
- 250ml water
- 30ml olive oil, divided
- 200g cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 150g fresh spinach
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1.In a bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- 2.While the batter rests, heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
- 4.Add the fresh spinach, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has just wilted. Stir in the lemon juice and remove the mixture from the heat.
- 5.Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour half of the chickpea batter into the pan, swirling to form a large, thin pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
- 6.Repeat with the remaining batter to make a second pancake. To serve, place each pancake on a plate and top with half of the mushroom and spinach mixture.
