Farinata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Farinata (which literally means floured) is a thin, crisp, pizza-like pancake from Liguria, which is also eaten in Alessandria and is similar to the socca from Nice. It is made stirring chick pea flour into a mixture of water and olive oil to form a loose batter, and baking it in the oven. Farinata may be seasoned with fresh rosemary, pepper and sea salt. Like pizza, it may also be topped with onions, sausages, or similar ingredients.
