Pancake di Ceci

Pancake di Ceci are savory, high-protein chickpea pancakes that offer a delightful twist to traditional brunch fare. Served warm, they are perfect for a nutritious meal packed with flavor and texture.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 150 grams
• Water - 300 milliliters
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Spinach - 100 grams, fresh
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil to coat the surface.
3. Pour about 1/2 cup of the chickpea batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly to form a pancake.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
6. In the last few minutes of cooking, add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, allowing them to wilt slightly.
7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
