Chickpea & Tribute ale pancakes

Method

• In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients followed by the Tribute ale with a large balloon whisk.
• Leave the batter to rest and ferment for an hour.
• Prepare the spring vegetables by boiling them separately and refreshing them in cold water.
• Keep aside in a cool place.
• Heat a flat non-stick pan and drizzle a little olive oil on it.
• Pour a little of the chickpea batter and spread evenly on the pan.
• Cook the pancake for a minute and flip over.
• Continue the process until you have used up the batter.

To serve: Place the chickpea pancake (also called ‘Socca’ or ‘pudla’) in the middle of a serving plate and top with a generous amount of the spring vegetable mix.

Enjoy the pancakes with a savory yoghurt dip, spicy relishes and Tribute Ale.
