Farinata

Ingredients

• 1
  
  cup chickpea flour
  
• 1
  
  cup water
  
• 3/4
  
  teaspoon sea salt
  
• 1/8
  
  teaspoon cumin powder
  
• 1.5
  
  tablespoons olive oil
  
• 1
  
  handful chopped fennel fronds
  
• 1
  
  tablespoon vegetable oil, for greasing pan
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a clean bowl combine chickpea flower, salt, cumin and fennel fronds. Add water and olive oil. Mix until smooth.
3. Let rest for 10 minutes.
4. Place a large skillet into the oven once it reaches desired temperature. Heat for five minutes, then remove and pour about half a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
5. Slowly pour half of the batter into the skillet, swirling it around so that it evenly distributes across the skillet. You should have about a 1/8 of a inch deep pancake.
6. Place pan back into the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, more if needed. The edges will start to turn brown, and if your oven is hot enough the Farinata will blister slightly.
7. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil and devour while still hot!
