FARINATA (ITALIAN FLATBREAD)
Farinata is a gluten-free Italian flatbread made with chickpea flour that is very easy to make. I'm sure this recipe will become part of your regular repertoire. I have added some spring onions and garlic for a more gourmet version of the simple farinata.

FARINATA
Steps:
- Put water in a large bowl. Slowly add in chickpea flour, mixing it with a wire whisk. Add salt to the mixture. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 3 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the foam from the top of the chickpea mixture. Grease a baking pan, about 12 by 16-inches, with oil. Once greased, add 2 tablespoons oil. Add chickpea mixture. Use a fork to combine the oil and chickpea mixture. Sprinkle generously with pepper. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium nonstick pan on medium heat. Add onion and cook for 10 minutes. Top the farinata with the onion slices and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.
SOCCA (FARINATA)
This is essentially a large chickpea pancake from Provence (and neighboring Liguria, where it's called farinata). It's traditionally cooked in wood ovens on copper disks, roughly cut and served hot or warm. (In the main market in Nice, it's baked a few hundred yards away and delivered by bicycle, to be wrapped in paper and eaten on the street.) If you have no wood or copper, that's no problem. They're nearly as great in a skillet or in a pizza pan in your oven, and totally foolproof.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450. Put a well-seasoned or nonstick 12-inch pizza pan or cast-iron skillet in oven. (If you have a socca pan, obviously that will work well also.)
- Put the chickpea flour in a bowl; add the salt and pepper. Slowly add 1 cup lukewarm water, whisking to eliminate lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover and let sit while the oven heats, or for as long as 12 hours. The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream.
- Remove the pan, pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into it and swirl. Add the onions return the pan to the oven and cook, stirring once or twice, until they're well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the rosemary. Stir the onions and rosemary into the batter, then immediately pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake is firm and the edges set.
- Heat the broiler and brush the top of the pancake with 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil if it looks dry. Set the pancake a few inches away from the broiler, and cook just long enough to brown it in spots. Cut it into wedges, and serve hot or warm.

FAINá (CHICKPEA FLOUR PANCAKE)
This simple and so delicious chickpea pancake or fainá is popular in Argentina and Uruguay but originated in the Liguria region of Italy. You can make it with various degrees of fermentation, and then enjoy it with a salad, in an Italian focaccia sandwich, or try it a caballo, on top of a slice of pizza, like you might find in Buenos Aires or Montevideo.

Steps:
- Double-mill the dried chickpeas, once very coarse and a second time fine. You can also use store bought chickpea flour.
- Mix in the water and the optional sourdough starter. Cover and let the batter sit a minimum of 2 hours and ideally overnight.
- For a not-sour pancake, don't add the sourdough starter and limit the rest time to 12 hours. For a mildly sour/fermented pancake, add the sourdough starter but refrigerate the batter overnight, or skip the sourdough starter and rest the batter for about 24 hours. For a very sour pancake, add the sourdough starter and leave the batter at room temperature overnight, or skip the sourdough starter and leave the batter at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- After the rest, add the salt and pepper to the batter and mix thoroughly.
- Preheat your oven to 450F, with one shelf below the middle and another shelf higher than the middle of your oven.
- Put the olive oil into a cold 10-inch skillet, cast iron or stainless steel, and heat it on the stove. Don't let the oil get to the point of smoking. I have an infrared thermometer and found 360F worked well.
- Add the batter to the skillet and let it cook until the edges curl in a bit, 1-3 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the lower shelf of your hot oven.
- Bake for about 25 minutes (10 minutes on the lower shelf and another 10-15 minutes on the higher shelf).
- Use a metal spatula to separate the fainá from the base of the skillet; then leave it in the skillet to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and serve. Fainá reheats well in a toaster oven or on a fry pan, but is also tasty cold.

- Add the lukewarm water very slowly while mixing and dissolving the flour with a wooden spoon to form a homogenous mixture. Be careful to mix thoroughly to avoid the formation of clumps.
- Every 2 hours, use a skimming spoon to remove the foam that has formed at the top of the mixture, then stir the mixture.
