Pâtisserie Végétale is a delightful vegan French breakfast featuring fluffy chickpea flour pancakes enriched with fresh herbs and served with a side of avocado-tomato salad. This dish captures the essence of French cuisine while being entirely plant-based and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 100 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh chives - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Avocado - 1 medium, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for salad)
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the avocado-tomato salad by combining diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Toss gently and set aside.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, pour a ladleful of the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it gently into a pancake shape.
4. Cook the pancake for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then sprinkle chopped parsley and chives on top. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
6. Serve the chickpea pancakes warm with the avocado-tomato salad on the side.
