The microwave chickpea flatbread is a great way to cook it in just a few minutes. Also known as cecina, the flatbread is a great way to enjoy chickpeas. Therefore, perfect even in the warm season. Like the microwave Recco-style focaccia and microwave pumpkin flatbread, this recipe will also cook in just a few minutes. The microwave cooking will not detract from the taste and texture, it’s excellent both hot and cold! I must say that even my daughter, who doesn’t like legumes, loves to enjoy the flatbread. I can’t tell you how surprised my daughter was; she widened her eyes and said to me, “Don’t tell me you also cooked this in the microwave”?! Before stating so, I had to suggest tasting it before judging. This time, needless to say, I won… she ate an entire tray of microwave-cooked chickpea flatbread!
