Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Blintzes
- 1¼ cups of chickpea flour
- 1½ cups of water
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1–2 TBS olive oil for frying
Zucchini Ribbons
- 1 zucchini
- 1 TBSP of olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Quick Pickled Red Onions
- 1 onion
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- ½ TSP sugar
- ¼ cup water
- Generous pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
Chickpea Blintzes
- in a blender blend half of the water and all other ingredients until smooth
- add water until batter reaches thin pancake consistency
- heat a large non-stick pan or skillet with a small drizzle of olive oil
- place one tablespoon of mixture (easier in squeeze bottle) and cook for a couple of minutes or until the blintz doesn’t stick
- turn and cook for another 1-2 minutes
- set aside
Zucchini Ribbons
- with a mandolin or y-peeler, peel thin and long slices of zucchini, place in a bowl or container
- drizzle zucchini with olive oil and pinch of salt
- set aside
Quick Pickled Red Onions
- slice onion as thinly as possible (using a mandoline makes it easier)
- in a jar with lid, or nonreactive bowl, combine all ingredients
- let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
- store in refrigerator until ready to serve
Assembly
- place blintzes on a plate
- take 1-2 zucchini ribbons and a few rings of pickled red onions, place on blintzes
- serve
Notes
- It will be a lot easier and faster if the batter is placed in a squeeze bottle. The blintzes will also be more uniform.
- These blintzes work great at room temperature, but if needed to serve warm, put on lined baking sheet in oven heated to 200 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm.
- If making ahead, freeze blintzes in freezer until ready to serve. Simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes.
- Replace toppings with your favourite.
