How to Prepare Pumpkin and Chickpea Flan [Vegan]

  1. Brush the pumpkin under running water, pierce it with a long spit in several points until it reaches the heart. Place it in a paper bag and cook it in a hot oven at 375ºF for about 30-40 minutes (always do the toothpick test, entering it will have to enter without difficulty).
  2. Remove it from the oven, empty it from seeds and filaments and reduce to pulp and peel purée.
  3. Prepare a base with olive oil, celery carrot and chopped onion and fry over a gentle heat adding a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of water.
  4. Add chickpea and turmeric after a few minutes and let flavor briefly.
  5. Crush the mixture coarsely with a fork and add it to the pumpkin, sage thyme and finely chopped parsley leaves, lemon peel and 1 tablespoon of flake food yeast.
  6. Mix everything well, let it cool completely and add as much breadcrumbs as necessary to obtain a firm mixture. Add tamari soy sauce according to your taste.
  7. Brush a baking pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, fill it with the mixture and level it.
  8. Brush the surface with the remaining oil spoon, sprinkle with another spoon of baking powder in flakes and sesame seeds. Sprinkle with rosemary needles and bake in hot oven at 375ºF until golden brown.
