In spirit of springtime, I decided to use up some of my spring break cooking and eating! I wanted to make something really delicious last night, that could be easily transported to my boyfriend's house to cook when he got off of work. I looked in my fridge to see what I was limited by... and I found a few handy ingredients to toss into this recipe. I remembered making spinach falafels a while ago- sorry, I forgot to take pictures and post them, I know I'm a terrible person, ha, ha- and they inspired me to decide to make dough for little pizza/dinner tortes. Here's what went down:
Ingredients:
(for the dough)
- 2/3 cup garbanzo flour
- 1/2 cup water
- one flax egg (1tbsp ground flax, 3 tbsp water)
- 3 cloves food-processed or minced raw garlic
- 1tsp olive oil
- salt (to tasting)
- 2 tbsp basil
(for the topping)
- 1 little can of cut olives
- spinach
- can of tomato paste (or for better results, make your own tomato sauce/paste- I didn't have tomatoes)
- 1/2 of a sauteed onion
Bon Appetite!
What to do?
- make the dough- just mix all of the ingredients together- make sure that the dough is the consistency of thick pancake mix. Make sure the dough isn't runny, either, just add more flour or water if needs adjusting.
- get out a frying pan and pour little circular blobs of dough onto the pan and cook them just like pancakes- it takes like five minutes for each blob to cook until a little bit brown.
- Top the little pancakes to make them more like pizzas with the toppings suggested above or whatever else that sounds delicious to you!
- Hint: squeeze a little bit of lemon on top and it's FANTASTIC!
