Cecina (Farinata de Ceci)
Period: 1200s Italy Sources: Chickpea Flour on Wikipedia, A Tuscan Foodie in America
1 ½ cup chickpea flour 2 ½ cup water 6 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper
Stir together the chickpea flour and water. Put in a covered container and let sit for 2-6 hours. It will start out very lumpy, but as it sits, the lumps will absorb water and dissolve.
Preheat oven to 450° F. Coat a 9”×13” baking pan with 2 Tbsp olive oil.
Stir the batter and mix in the salt and pepper. Pour the batter into the pan. Fold 4 Tbsp olive oil into the batter.
Bake for 15 minutes, then broil the top for 5 minutes.
