Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1.5 cups water
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and water. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the chickpea batter. Stir well to combine.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chickpea flour to fully hydrate.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a large cast-iron skillet (10-12 inches) in the oven to heat along with the oven.
Once the oven and skillet are preheated, carefully remove the skillet using oven mitts.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Whisk the batter briefly and carefully pour it into the hot skillet. It should sizzle upon contact.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary leaves evenly over the top of the batter.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the farinata is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm as a standalone snack or paired with a light salad.
