Well, this recipe has had me stumped for quite some time. I originally imagined it as some lovely damper mini-loaves made with crushed chickpeas, tahini and garlic salt. They were going to be just fantastic ... except that they didn't actually work. So I tinkered for a while, but got sick of the stockpile of crumbling mini-loaves so I gave it away.

But just as I thought about blogging the recipe, I noticed a few other recipes with the same flavour combination had started to appear. There's this … [Read more...]
