Directions
1
Cook chickpeas with just water to make aquafaba.
2
Boil chickpeas slowly and allow them to sit and cool in the liquid once cooked.
3
Strain the cooked chickpeas, reserving the liquid (aquafaba).
4
Remove the husks from the chickpeas for a smoother hummus.
5
Further cook the husk-stripped chickpeas with a little salt and baking soda.
6
Transfer cooked chickpeas to a food processor.
7
Add tahini, garlic, water and ice, cumin, salt, and lemon juice to the food processor.
8
Process until smooth to make hummus.
9
Toast whole spices and aromatics in a pan.
10
Grind the toasted whole spices and combine with a few more ground spices and salt.
11
Cut up some onion, ginger, and garlic.
12
Sweat out the onion, ginger, and garlic in a big glug of olive oil.
13
Add tomato paste, the chickpeas, and some water or stock to the pot.
14
Whip the aquafaba into stiff peaks in a stand mixer.
15
Slowly and carefully fold in chickpea flour into the whipped aquafaba.
16
Pan-fry the fluffy light batter to form crispy on the outside, tender on the inside flatbreads.
