In a separate bowl, mix chickpea flour*, spices (chili flakes, paprika, white pepper), nutritional yeast flakes, and hemp seeds.
Gradually add water to form a thick batter.

3. Combine and Cook:
Add garlic to the sautéed vegetables, then gently mix in the chickpea flour* batter.
Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens to a mashed potato consistency.

4. Shape and Set:
Spoon the mixture into mini loaf sections of a silicon baking tray.
Flatten the loaves and refrigerate for about an hour until set.

5. Serve:
Bake or slice and serve cold.
Enjoy on sandwiches, with salads, or as a versatile protein-packed meal.

*TO MAKE CHICKPEA FLOUR*:

Directly blend dried chickpeas in a high-speed food processor/blender or grind them in a spice grinder. Remove large pieces & re-process them. (If no high speed tools just soak peas overnight, dry in sunshine or low temp oven & grind in non-highspeed machine.)
