An excellent soup adaptation from Rozanne Gold, a favorite cookbook author. It's seasoned with Egyptian spices, combined and ground by you. The yield varies depending on how much the soup is thinned.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup chickpea flour
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white pepper
1 pinch black pepper
Directions:
1. Combine the sesame seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a nonstick skillet and cook over low heat until fragrant; grind to a powder in a spice grinder and add a pinch of salt; set aside.
2. If necessary, make the chickpea flour by grinding dried chickpeas in a blender; combine the flour with the broth and beat smooth with an electric mixer.
3. Transfer the soup to a saucepan and add 1 T olive oil, salt, white pepper and black pepper; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, 10 minutes; add water to thin as needed.
4. Ladle the soup into shallow soup plates, drizzle with remaining 1 T olive oil and sprinkle with reserved spice mix, to taste.
