Farinata with Salmon, Cheese and Rocket Salad

Hello There!

“Farinata”. This one right here is always on my “to-eat” list when I trave back to my hometown in Torino. Despite it originating in the neighboring of Liguria, Farinata is a widespread dish in Northern Italy.

You will mostly find this chickpea flat bread in Pizzerias, Focaccerias or even Bakeries, usually in its most common version: plain Farinata with rosemary.

The traditional recipe only calls for three ingredients: chickpea flour, water and olive oil. As stated above, it’s often served with rosemary, but Farinata is extremely versatile and can be paired with many ingredients and served as en entree, a side or even as a main dish.

For this recipe, I decided to go for a Farinata, Salmon, Rocket with pair it with cheese (… I actually wanted to to use spinach but I couldn’t find any).

This recipe is perfect for your Sunday brunch, your afternoon snack or even a picnic at the park.. well not now, it’s almost Winter time xD

The traditional recipe calls for a resting time stretching from 2 to 8 hours, but it can be reduced to 30 minutes, if in a hurry. Still, I prefer to take my time when making Farinata and allow the mix to rest at least 3 hours.

With that being said, without further ado, here’s the recipe.

Bon Appetit!
