Italian chickpea frittata - vegan & gluten-free

in #vegan7 years ago

In Tuscany they call it Cecina. In Piemonte it’s called Farinata. However, you want to call it, this Italian traditional specialty is deliziosa, and fast and easy to make also as a last minute meal idea.

It can be made simply with only three ingredients: chickpea flour, water and salt! This version I’m showing you today is a variation from Liguria which adds some freshness, taste and color with asparagus.

Did I forget to mention that it’s also totally vegan and gluten-free!

Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus (about 400 g)
150 g of chickpea flour
300 ml of water
extra virgin olive oil (preferably aromatic for frying)
salt and pepper

Directions

Asparagus prep
  • Wash the asparagus and remove the hardest part of the stem,
  • let them stand on the stems to boil with very little water for about 10 minutes using a deep pan with a lid.
  • Drain, and cool
  • cut them into pieces of about 2-3 cm.
  • Sauté for a few minutes in a large pan (ideally 28-cm diameter) with some oil .
Batter
  • Prepare a batter by mixing the chickpea flour with water, mixing it well to avoid lumps, then add salt.
    Cover it and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into the pan along with the asparagus, cook until it turns brown on both sides and sprinkle with pepper, preferably freshly ground.
  • If necessary, to prevent it from sticking to the pan, add more oil.

Buon appetito!
