Ingredients

Scale

Chickpea Blintzes

  • 1¼ cups of chickpea flour
  • 1½ cups of water
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic

Zucchini Ribbons

  • 1 TBSP of olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Quick Pickled Red Onions

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ TSP sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • Generous pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

Chickpea Blintzes

  1. in a blender blend half of the water and all other ingredients until smooth
  2. add water until batter reaches thin pancake consistency
  3. heat a large non-stick pan or skillet with a small drizzle of olive oil
  4. place one tablespoon of mixture (easier in squeeze bottle) and cook for a couple of minutes or until the blintz doesn’t stick
  5. turn and cook for another 1-2 minutes
  6. set aside

Zucchini Ribbons

  1. with a mandolin or y-peeler, peel thin and long slices of zucchini, place in a bowl or container
  2. drizzle zucchini with olive oil and pinch of salt
  3. set aside

Quick Pickled Red Onions

  1. slice onion as thinly as possible (using a mandoline makes it easier)
  2. in a jar with lid, or nonreactive bowl, combine all ingredients
  3. let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes
  4. store in refrigerator until ready to serve

Assembly

  1. place blintzes on a plate
  2. take 1-2 zucchini ribbons and a few rings of pickled red onions, place on blintzes
  3. 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.
