Recipe provided by Joel Gamoran

Many people have told me they don’t know what to do with those chickpeas! Using ingredients, you already have like tomatoes or a tomato sauce, leafy greens, vegetable oil, onion, any peppers or a couple spices and Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt, we can easily create a delicious meal. Paired with my expired aquafaba flatbread, you’ll have an exciting dish in minutes!

I love using Morton® Fine Sea Salt because it dissolves so efficiently and evenly making it perfect for baking, as well as using Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt to bring out a crunch and add extra texture to this recipe.

Additional Recipes & Information

Aquafaba Flatbread:

1.     In a large bowl, add flour, aquafaba, melted butter baking powder, a large pinch of Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt. Mix well with your hands to form a dough. If it’s too dry add more aquafaba, if it’s too wet add more flour. Set aside for just a moment.

2.     Roll flatbread dough. Flop your dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 balls, then roll each ball out to about ½” thick. Rub each flatbread with a bit of more butter and a sprinkling of Morton® Fine Sea Salt.

3.     Place the flatbreads, seasoned side down, into the grill pan (you might have to do each one separately depending on pan size). Rub a bit of oil onto the top side as well. After about two minutes, flip your flatbread to the other side, you should see some light grill marks.

4.     Grill on this side for another minute or two and remove from the pan.

5.     Serve hot with the Spiced Chickpeas.
