Presentation

A nutritious recipe, consisting of a second course prepared with chickpea flour, carrots, thyme, marjoram, garlic, extra virgin olive oil

Ingredients

100 g chickpea flour (3.5 oz)

200 g water (7.1 oz / ¾ cup)

120 g carrots (4.2 oz)

Thyme, to taste

Marjoram, to taste

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed (for brushing the pan)

Method

Pour the chickpea flour into the water and stir well to dissolve it.

Let the batter rest for at least a couple of hours, but possibly even longer.

Add a little oil to the batter (optional).

Grate the carrots or slice them into julienne strips.

Once the carrots have been grated (or cut into julienne), you can proceed in two ways.

Add the grated carrots to the chickpea batter (after resting) and add the herbs and chopped garlic to the mixture.

Or sauté the carrots in a pan with minced garlic, aromatic herbs and a drizzle of oil for a few minutes to flavor and wilt slightly, then let them cool then add them to the batter.

Pour the chickpea and carrot flour mixture by spoonfuls onto a preheated pan and brushed with a little oil.

Cook the carrot omelettes for a few minutes on each side.

The cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the omelettes.

Serve hot, warm or cold.

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Garlic: has immune-stimulating properties, promotes liver function and the elimination of waste metabolites. It also has hypocholesterolemic, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypoglycemic properties that promote cardiac function.

Carrots: rich in vitamins (B1, B2, C, PP, E, D), carotenoids, minerals and active ingredients that support the functionality of the immune system and ophthalmic, diuretic and healing functions and act to protect the cardiovascular system. Also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the contribution of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. They provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Chickpea flour: it provides factors that promote the functionality of the immune system and regulates blood sugar and due to the content of mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants, it acts to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the contribution of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants.

Marjoram: good source of antioxidants that promote the functioning of the cardiovascular system and immune system.

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids
