]]> Day 3 of Vegan MoFo is all about making meals that are quick, easy, and delicious! My mind went straight to stir fry but as soon as I started making one, I realized that all the chopping was not all that quick. Maybe I am a slow chopper but I wanted a meal that was 30 minutes or less, served 2 people, protein packed, filling, and was a hot meal versus my go-to zoodle bowls here and here. I have teased you all with this recipe on Instagram and now here it is! Za'atar Chickpea Socca w- Garlic Tahini Dressing #glutenfree #quick #easy #delicious #vegan (1 of 1)-10 I had attempted a similar recipe to this one before but the chickpea flour was so bitter, I barely ate half of it. I rejected the idea entirely until it started to pop up on the blog world more and more. My problem: I wasn’t cooking it long enough! I thought it was cooked like a regular pancake but this savoury pancake needs a longer cooking time to cut down on the bitterness of the flour. Once the cooking time was perfected, this recipe became a regular lunch time meal. Mark, who hated chickpea flour, loves this recipe.
