Farinata ligure (chickpea pancake)
Pancakes
My husband is from Liguria (the birth place of farinata) but we live in Milan. Every so often to bring the taste of Liguria to our house I'll make this farinata for him. In Liguria farinata is considered street food, almost never made at home. Traditionally it's made using a well seasoned copper pan and a wood burning oven. My husband the food traditionalist required that I specify this.
<br />After countless attempts, this is the (no copper or cast iron required) recipe we have deemed closest to the one you can taste on the streets of Genova, where his grandma still lives and where legend has it the recipe was conceived almost 800 years ago!
