Fresh herb, quinoa, and besan flatbread

April 15, 2014

This recipe was inspired by the Quinoa Oat Flatbread recipe on The Edible Perspective . My version adds fresh herbs, sautee’d onion and replaces the oats with besan (chickpea flour), thus making it unequivocally gluten free. The result is light and crispy, a perfect pair for soups and salads.
