  • 50g chickpea/ garbanzo flour (Just a bit less than half a cup measure)

• 

UTENSILS:

• Waffle iron
• Small bowl
• Fork
• Frying pan
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife

INSTRUCTIONS:

NB: Prepare the waffle mix at least an hour ahead, but you can let it stand for up to 8 hours before using it.

• In a bowl, mix together the chickpea flour, oil, water, and salt, mix until smooth with no lumps. The mixture will be runny but will thicken on standing.

• When you are ready to prepare the meal, preheat the waffle iron.
• Cut your cherry tomatoes in half.

• Cut your avocado and sprinkle a quarter with a bit of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

• Spray your frying pan or use a little oil to grease it. Spry the waffle iron.

• Add a suitable scoop of your chickpea mix to the waffle iron. Allow the mix to spread, then close the iron.

• Briefly fry your cherry tomato halves till just cooked and remove from the pan.

• Check your waffle and remove it from the iron when it is cooked with slightly crispy edges.

• Fry your egg sunny side up until done to your preference.

TO SERVE:

• Plate the waffle. (I like to use an iron with small separate sections. Then I stack two squares on top of each other).

• Serve your egg on top and arrange the cherry tomatoes and avocado on the plate.

Enjoy!
