How to Make Farinata

Fainè, also called farinata, is nothing more than a simple garbanzo bean flour batter which is spiked with olive oil and salt and baked in a very hot oven. The surface gets crusty and the edges get crispy yet the inside stays moist and sort of creamy. The texture is easy to explain, but the taste, not so much. Very earthy, comforting, and satisfying.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 cups lukewarm water
1 ½ cups garbanzo flour
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary (Optional)
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Whisk together lukewarm water and garbanzo flour in a large bowl until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Skim off as much foam as possible from the top of batter. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, kosher salt, and rosemary into batter until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Pour remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Continue to heat until oil shimmers and a wisp of smoke rises from oil.
Quickly pour batter into hot oil; carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake in the preheated oven until pancake is browned and crusty, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pancake immediately to a plate and cut into wedges. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and serve hot.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

You might think this was invented to avoid all of that time-consuming wrapping and messy deep-frying, but it wasn't! It was invented by the keto people, because they can't eat egg roll wrappers-but this guy can. So, instead of what's really egg roll filling in a bowl, we're doing the real thing in all of its tasty and textural glory. Garnish with more green onions if desired.
