Healing Foods - Chickpeas

Total time: 15 - 20 minutes | Servings 2 to 4

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup organic chickpea flour (or organic chickpeas blended into a flour)

• 1/2 cup homemade organic vegetable broth (oil free)

• 1 -2 tbsp avocado oil, divided

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp turmeric

• 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan / Celtic Sea Salt (Black Salt can be used, but caution for those with a sulfur allergy)

• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black peppercorn

Note: 1) Non-stick saucepan/pan or stainless steel pan and avocado oil - oil is a must if sing a stainless steel plan, chickpeas love to stick to the pan so use your best non-stick saucepan. If non-stick pan is scratched, use stain steel pan. 2) Use whisk and a glass mixing bowl

Instructions

• Prepare mise en place.

• Add dry ingredients into a glass bowl: chickpea flour, garlic powder, turmeric, and black peppercorn (do not add salt at this step). Whisk to combine. Make a well in the center.

• Add vegetable broth into the center of the dry mix and whisk until a smooth pancake batter. No lumps allowed - if the lump is in the batter, it will be in the final outcome. Avoid dough consistency as well. If the batter is too thin, simply add one tablespoon of chickpea flour at a time until desired consistency is reached.

• Warm the saucepan and add 1 tbsp avocado oil (use additional tbsp if needed to accommodate pan size). Once warm, add the chickpea scramble and continue to mix "or scramble" mixture until it reaches a scrambled egg consistency (4-6 minutes). It is important to press the scramble into a thin layer as you scramble to for even cooking. Avoid "mashed potatoes" consistency.

• Once done, sprinkle in the salt to taste. If using black salt, remember that it is a very salty tasting salt, so less is more. Additionally, use Pink Himalayan or Celtic Sea salt in lieu of black salt when cooking for consumers with sulfur allergies.

• Serve while warm.
