BESAN (CHICKPEA FLOUR) PASTRY



Besan (Chickpea Flour) Pastry image

This is such a healthy pastry, and has a nutty savoury taste. I use it for all kinds of vegetarian pies and tarts, either as the shell, or as the pastry top/lid.

Time 20m

Yield 1 large pastry base

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups besan flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cold water (up to 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Whizz the flour and salt together in a food processor.
  • With the motor running, add the olive oil and process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
  • Add just enough water to form a malleable, slightly sticky dough.
  • Roll out the pastry as needed on a floured board, or between two pieces of cling wrap.
  • To bake a bind (before adding a filling): prick all over the pastry with a fork, cover the pastry with a layer of foil and place either pastry weights or some dry beans or rice on the foil. Bake at 180C for 15 minutes, remove from oven, take off the foil and leave to cool, before proceeding with the filling of your choice.
