Ingredients
- Roasted Vegetables:
- 1/2 a courgette sliced into 1/2-inch half moons
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil to drizzle over
- Sea salt & Pepper
- Flatbread:
- 1 cup chickpea flour or garbanzo bean flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh garlic
- 2 teaspoon fresh herbs - coriander is nice
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil for frying
- Quick Hummus Spread:
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15 oz.) can, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C and allow vegetables to roast for 30 minutes.
- To make the hummus, add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth
- To make the flatbread batter, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk gently.
- If you have time allow the batter to sit for 30 minutes or prepare the night before and add a tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar. This will help break down the starches for better digestion.
- The mixture should have a consistency of pancake batter.
- Heat the coconut oil in a pan and spoon 1/2 cup of the batter, swirling around to a good pancake shape.
- After a few minutes, flip over and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Cook longer for a crisper base.
- Top with the hummus, fresh rocket or baby spinach and the roasted vegetables and season with sea salt and pepper.
