Found some blogged kitchen delights

[crazysoph]

Via the blogroll at Out of Ambit, clicked to A Cat in the Kitchen, found a link for a recipe using chickpea flour, called farinata, which helpfully linked to another recipe.

Alas, it's a recipe that requires an overnight rest for the batter. Darn. But after that, buon appetito!!

Thanks for stoppin'.

Farinata is delightful. Also a childhood memory for me, from the seaside place where I spent all my summers as a child. Every time I visit, I make sure to get some -- it has to be eaten as soon as it's out of the oven, so the shops post the times for farinata in their windows and people come to get it while it's hot.

In Pisa they also do a sandwich with it, apparently favourite student food a generation ago (I learned about it from my father who studied there): it's a plain white focaccia stuffed with a slice of farinata :-) Unfortunately I can't remember the name for it now. (It strikes me that the idea is similar to the chips butty really, but with Mediterranean ingredients.)

I have made a few times a quick-and-dirty cross between this and bhajis: http://aynathie.livejournal.com/tag/food#item145400. The same principle could be applied with fewer vegetables :-)
