  • Gradually add water to the chickpea flour, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Once the water is fully incorporated, add the oil and salt.
  • Let the batter rest for at least half an hour.
  • Place a non-stick baking sheet or a 24 cm cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 250°C.

  • Bake the chickpea cake for about 5 minutes, then add the sun-dried tomatoes cut into strips and bake for another 10-12 minutes, until crispy and golden brown on the surface and still soft inside.
  • Serve hot with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
