Farinata (Italian Flatbread) image

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.

This farinata is a great make-ahead meal. I often make a batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

This farinata is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers to mine, and it turned out great.

I thought this farinata was going to be bland, but it was actually really flavorful. I loved the combination of chickpea flour, rosemary, and garlic.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my farinata turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This farinata was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chickpea flour, but this farinata was surprisingly good. The texture was light and airy, and the flavor was mild and nutty.

This farinata was a hit! The texture was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was nutty and savory, with a hint of rosemary. I served it with a simple salad and some grilled vegetables, and it was the perfect meal.
