CHICKPEA FLOUR

Chickpea flour is high in protein (1 cup contains more than 20 g of protein), fiber, and micronutrients and is lower in carbs and calories than traditional wheat flour. It is great for people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or wheat allergy. 

You can use it in both, sweet and savory recipes. Use it to make bread, cookies, pizza dough, socca, pancakes, to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, as a crunchy coating or a binder in veggie burgers.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKPEA FLOUR FRITTATA

You can find instructions and the exact measurements in the recipe card below:

• To make chickpea flour batter, stir together the chickpea flour, turmeric, salt, and water in a bowl. Whisk together until blended completely making sure to eliminate all of the lumps.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, add shredded pumpkin, finely chopped swiss chard (or kale), chopped scallions, minced garlic, 1 level teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir until all is well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Preheat oven to 200 °C. Line an 18 cm springform pan with baking paper and put it in the oven for approx. 5 minutes (it needs to be really hot when you add the batter).
