Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained with liquid reserved
½ cup tahini
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup whole wheat flour, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided, or as needed

Steps:

Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Combine 1 teaspoon cumin, paprika, chili powder, and coriander together in a small bowl.
Blend chickpeas, tahini, egg, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, remaining 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, and pepper together in a food processor or blender, adding liquid from canned chickpeas if needed, until very smooth. Transfer chickpeas mixture to a bowl; fold in whole wheat flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter drops easily from a large spoon.
Drop a little water onto the skillet; if it dances on the surface, the skillet is ready. Add about 1 teaspoon olive oil to skillet. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, forming 3- to 4-inch circles, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed with remaining olive oil.
Sprinkle pancakes with cumin mixture and salt.

Tips:

Use fresh spices: Fresh spices have a more intense flavor and aroma than ground spices. If you can, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
Toast your spices: Toasting spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes can bring out their flavor and aroma. Be careful not to burn them, as this will make them bitter.
Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blends. The Mediterranean region is home to a wide variety of spices, so there are endless possibilities.
Store spices properly: Spices should be stored in a cool, dark place in airtight containers. This will help to preserve their flavor and aroma.

Conclusion:

Spices are an essential part of Mediterranean cuisine. They add flavor, color, and aroma to dishes. By following these tips, you can make the most of your spices and create delicious, authentic Mediterranean dishes.
