Ingredients

  • Pancakes:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained (reserve liquid)
  • 1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1/4 cup reserved chickpea liquid
  • 1 to 3 cloves of garlic, optional and to taste
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 large eggs
  • Dressing:
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
  • A little salt
  • Garnish:
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Chickpeas
  • Red onion slices

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Put the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and pulse until flour disappears.

Lightly oil a skillet and preheat it over medium heat. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet, leaving room for spreading. Pat the batter into rounds and cook until the bottoms are slightly golden; flip and cook the other side. Cool slightly before serving and top with chickpeas, onions, and halved cherry tomatoes.

For the dressing: whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, tahini, cumin powder, and salt.
