Farinata is something like a southern pancake, but made with chickpea flour instead of wheat flour. In Liguria, Sardinia and southern Piedmont, farinata di ceci is one of the traditional treats that people like to indulge in between meals. It tastes best when homemade, and fortunately it's very easy to make..

You need 3-4 farinata patties:

• 300 g chickpea flour

• 800 ml lukewarm water

• 1 tbsp salt (15 g)

• 1 bunch spring onions

• a few sprigs of rosemary

• 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
