RECIPE : spicy chipotle onion pucks

my recipe for healthy hot & spicy onion pucks, oil-free and of course vegan. i’m always so delighted when i think up super yummy and yet ridiculously healthy recipes. this is one of those times. and my david loves them, so i’m guessing i’ll be making them a lot from now on.

spicy chipotle onion pucks :
3 onions, sliced
a pinch of salt
250 ml / 1 cup chickpea flour (gram flour)
1 tsp chipotle, or less if you’re not that into spicy food
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp dried coriander / cilantro
juice from 1/2 lime
about 250 ml / 1 cup water

– preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F
– sprinkle the onion slices with salt and let sit while you prepare the batter
– mix the dry ingredients first, then add the lime juice and gradually the water. the amount of water needed varies with brand of flour. the batter shouldn’t be too moist, just wet enough to hold together without crumbling, or sticking to your fingers
– fold in the onion slices and form pucks. place on an parchment paper and bake for about 10-15 min on each side. you can fry them in a pan instead of baking if you prefer, but if so you probably need some oil, which i prefer not to use
– here i’m serving them with a simple kale and tomato salad, with some coriander and lime. but you go ahead and serve them however you want ! dip them in a sauce as a snack, use as topping on a salad, serve with rice for a heavier meal. just use your imagination ^^
