This slightly crispy chickpea flatbread called Farinata comes from the region of Italy called Liguria, and it's something I've been wanting to try for a long time. It's made by combining water, olive oil, and chickpea flour, letting it rest, seasoning with herbs and black pepper, and then baking in an ultra-hot oven, and this same combination of ingredients is called Socca in France and Cecina or Torta de Ceci in other parts of Italy. Since the batter is made entirely with chickpea flour, it's gluten free and extremely low-glycemic, perfect for a South Beach Dieter who's been wanting a crunchy snack.Recipe for Farinata with Rosemary and Pepper (Italian Chickpea Flatbread)
