A delightful twist on the classic Algerian Garantita, this spiced chickpea tart is both flavorful and easy to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, cumin, and olive oil until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly prevents lumps in the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
Use a non-stick or well-greased dish to avoid sticking.
Drizzle the beaten egg over the top of the batter.
Drizzling the egg creates a beautiful golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and set.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Let cool slightly, then slice and serve with harissa on the side.
Allowing it to cool makes slicing easier and prevents crumbling.
