Posted at 00:54h in Recipe, Superlegumes, Vegan, Vegetarian 11 Comments

Thought I would share one more recipe from my new book, superlegumes, to help inspire you to be cooking with legumes!

This would have to be one of my absolute favourite recipes in the book, a delicious whole mandarin and chickpea cake…. that's right, a cake made with chickpeas!

I promise you will not be disappointed.

It will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
