Stages of cooking
-
Take canned chickpea and sift it. You will need the sauce only
-
Take a deep bowl and pour 150 ml of the sifted sauce into it
-
Whip the chickpea sauce using the mixer until you get dense white foam-like mass. This process takes more time as it takes to whip the egg whites. While whipping the meringue, gradually add sugar. The meringue should be smooth and glistening
-
Add zest (vanilla) and food dye dissolved in 1 tablespoon of chickpea sauce that has been left. Whip the mass once again. You can also add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice or lemon liqueur while whipping the sugar, but this is an optional step and you can omit it if you are pressed for time
-
As soon as your meringue is ready, take a pastry bag and make small round-shaped meringue cookies. Do not forget to cover the baking pan with the baking paper before the process
-
Bake at 130 degrees for about 50-60 minutes until the dessert is ready. Do not open the oven until the meringue cools down a bit. Bon appétit!
