Ingredients:

Serves 2

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup of seasonal greens
• 1 chilli
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method:

• Blend or whisk one cup of chickpea flour with one cup water until very smooth – no lumps. Leave in a glass bowl covered over night to ferment.
• The next day, when ready to use, add a pinch of salt and any seasonal greens. In winter, roughly chopped fresh chard would be perfect.
• Add one fresh chilli finely chopped (chilli powder is also good) and season with salt and black pepper.
• Heat a non-stick pan and add a tiny bit of olive oil. Once the pan is hot add one ladle full of the mix, spread out evenly and cook for a 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
