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

  1. Combine the chickpea flour, olive oil and 250 ml (1 cup) water in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. For the tarator sauce, blend the ingredients with 125 ml (½ cup) water – the sauce should be a drizzling consistency.
  5. Top the pancakes with rocket, drizzle with the tarator sauce and serve with pickles and lemon wedges.
