Instructions
 

For the pancakes

  • Pour the water into a large mixing bowl.
    Gradually scatter in the chickpea flour and whisk constantly to make a smooth batter.
    Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the olive oil.
    Whisk to distribute evenly.
    Set the batter aside at room temperature for 2 hours.

For the salsa

  • Mix all the ingredients together and season well with salt and pepper.

For the tahini sauce

  • Whisk the tahini and just enough hot water together in a small bowl until smooth and a nice spreadable consistency.
    Add the garlic and lemon and season well with salt.

To cook the pancakes

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a 20cm non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
    When the oil is hot, pour in one quarter of the chickpea batter.
  • Cover the pan with a lid.
    Cook until the top of the pancake is completely set and you can check the underneath is golden brown.
  • The pancake will be very tender and is a little fragile so shimmy it gently onto a serving plate.
    Keep warm in the oven while you repeat the process with the rest of the batter.

For the mushrooms

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan.
    Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown.
  • Add the garlic and herbs and toss until fragrant.
    Finish with the red wine vinegar.

To assemble

  • Spread a little tahini sauce onto each pancake.
    Top with the sautéed mushrooms.
  • Dollop a good amount of avocado salsa onto each plate.
    Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and micro herbs.
    Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
