Farinata


Haven't we all been taking stock of our food supplies lately? I remembered I have had this chickpea flour in my pantry for years and years, never used after one failed recipe. It was perfectly ok, so I found this Farinata chickpea flour bread recipe on Allrecipes. Here are my adjustments, it came out even better the second time around (photos above).  I found this really easy to make so I will probably do this again, I have lots of chickpea flour left!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c chickpea flour
2 c lukewarm water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 onion finely chopped
5-6 tbs olive oil divided

Instructions:

Whisk flour, water in a bowl. Rest 2-6 hours covered with plastic wrap. At this point, preheat the oven 450F. Skim any foam off the top of the flour mix. In a frying pan, cook onions in 2-3 tbs olive oil with rosemary, salt, and pepper. When onions start to brown, scrape everything into the bowl including the oil.

Meanwhile, in an oven proof skillet, heat 3 tbs oil. Add the flour mix to this skillet. Place the skillet into the oven 18-20 mins until the farinata is golden brown. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

I love using gram flour (aka garbanzo/chickpea flour). If you get a chance, black salt will make it taste more like eggs. It's a fun ingredient. Also works when making garbanzo bean salad, celery and onions with egg-free mayo (or whatever mayo), but the black salt makes the whole dish taste eggy. The black salt smells like farts, too. But the good kind of farts. Not the sticky husband like of farts.

Sounds good. When I was cutting out gluten a few years back, I used a lot of chickpea flour - also known as gram flour!

This does look easy and delicious. Yes, using up items that have been sitting/taking up space is a great feeling lately.

Looks nice.

The black salt is a sulfur sorta salt. It gives an eggy taste and smell. Pink salt is nice for dishes too but not farty. Though I love the pink salt on roasted peanuts with a whisper of cayenne pepper. Oh my yum.
