Seeded Chickpea and Pumpkin Bread

• Coriander seeds, for sprinkling on top (optional)

Directions:

1. 1. Prepare the Ingredients:
      • • Pour boiling water over 50g sultanas and let them sit to soften.
        • Toast the seeds: In a pan over medium heat, pan fry the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

       

      • Chop the softened sultanas with a knife or use a hand blender if you prefer a finer texture.
   2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
      • • In a large mixing bowl, add 160g cooked chickpeas, toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, 40g psyllium seeds, Italian herbs, and a little salt. Mix everything well.

       

   3. Prepare the Pumpkin:
      • • Grate the pumpkin on a coarse grater to yield 200g.
        • In a pan, cook the grated pumpkin for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Alternatively, you can bake it in the oven if preferred.

       

   4. Combine Ingredients:
      • • Chop the cooked pumpkin with a hand blender to a slightly smooth consistency.
        • In the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients, add the cooked pumpkin, softened sultanas, 350ml water, and 25ml olive oil.

       

      • Mix everything well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
   5. Prepare the Bread Pan:
      • • Grease a bread pan with olive oil. Place the bread mixture into the mold, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
