Recipe
If you decided to make a pancake using chickpea flour, you’d end up with a farinata. It is a favorite street food, especially popular up and down the coast of seaside Liguria, northwestern Italy. The rustic recipe features chickpea flour, water, and extra virgin olive oil. This triad of ingredients transforms into a delicious pancake, which you then sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Today, Cook It encourages to try a new twist on the traditional recipe and make cacio e pepe farinata.
Literally translating to “cheese and pepper,” this farinata calls for an additional ingredient: Pecorino Romano. This exquisite salty Italian sheep’s milk cheese gives the exciting dish that ultimate kick of flavor. Without further ado, let’s make this delectable appetizer!
