Recipe prepared for us by Dcerka u plotny - Lucie Kadlčková

Chickpea porridge does not have to be just a sweet breakfast. Combined with roasted carrots, walnuts, seeds, feta, and a honey-mustard dressing, it becomes an easy, balanced savory meal you can enjoy at any time of the day.

Nominal Chickpea Porridge is naturally gluten-free and vegan. It is rich in plant-based protein and fibre, and because it contains no added sugar, milk, or flavourings, it makes a great base for both sweet and savoury recipes.
