Chickpea Flour Bread with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

There is a new cookbook in my kitchen — I know, I'm already buried in them — but it's an interesting and inspiring one. It's all about chickpea flour which is one of my favorite ingredients. The Chickpea Flour Cookbook: Healthy Gluten-Free and Grain-Free Recipes to Power Every Meal of the Day by Camilla V. Saulsbury is certainly the first cookbook I've come across focusing on chickpea flour. Over 80 recipes are featured for any time of day. Breakfast, breads, snacks, sides, entrées and even desserts. They all happen to be gluten-free, grain-free and soy-free. And because chickpea flour is the focus, all of the recipes are high in protein which is important for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Most of the recipes are suitable for vegans too, and those that contain dairy are usually accompanied with suggestions on how to make the recipe vegan.

Who knew there could be so many recipes for chickpea flour?

The first recipe I attempted became this moist and satisfying bread that is actually extra like a savory cake. The addition of tangy sun-dried tomatoes and earthy spinach makes each chunk a taste experience that you may not soon forget. It's wonderful for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or as an accompaniment for a primary dinner dish.

As continually, the reviews expressed right here are my personal.
