Chickpea Pancakes With Kale and Fennel

My wife and I make this recipe at least once a month. It's a quick, healthy, and tasty weekday meal. We punch up the seasoning a little bit, and usually add fennel fronds and za'atar to the socca batter. The hardest part of the recipe was the tahini dressing, but we've found a great substitute with Trader Joe's sesame salad dressing.

This was delicious! I doubled the recipe and used the mandoline to slice the fennel bulbs. I cranked the skillet to high from the beginning and did end up thinning the batter a little bit more to get the batter to spread easier and make a larger pancake. It’s a keeper for sure.

I made this without the pancakes and it is delicious.

Love this. Fast, different and delicious. Love the way everything plays with each other. Great way to get my wife to eat kale. Crispy garlicky chickpeas, oh yes. These pancakes would be great for breakfast, my breakfast any way. I prefer my steel cut oatmeal with everything but the bagel seasoning from the Spice House. And love shrimp and scallion pancakes with fish sauce.

I was really looking forward to this recipe but have some remarks: * the chickpeas + veggies were too dry to complement the pancake * chickpea flour makes for a dry pancake. I feel like it's missing some kind other ingredient to help make it wetter? * the tahini wasn't enough to moisturize the dish, so I added some whole milk yogurt w/ lemon + grated garlic instead Overall, it left me feeling like I was chewing into a bunch of chalk marbles. Disappointed

This was simple and delish. Next time I'm going to omit the olive oil in the tahini and. You also may not need oil to cook the pancake if you have a non-stick pan.

Delicious. I only used oil to fry the pancakes. Not in the dressing or for frying the greens. Tahini alone has already lots of fats and calories. Garlic and greens can be fried with splashes of water. Keep adding a few tablespoons at a time to keep things from sticking and burning. Yield 2 small pancakes and plenty of greens. Have leftovers greens which will be devoured later. Great taste. Will do it again.
