About the Recipe

Ingredients

8 oz of Garbanzo bean (Chickpea) flour
1/2 Tsp of Sea Salt
1 1/2 Cups of Water
2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp of dried Rosemary

Preparation

In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix the garbanzo bean flour and salt.

Gently whisk water into the dry ingredients until smooth and let sit, while covered for 4 hours. It's ready when the flour has separated from the water.

Preheat the oven to 550 degrees and position oven rack in the middle of the oven.
Pour the olive oil into a 12 inch cast iron skillet and swirl until the entire bottom of the pan is coated.
In the mixing bowl, skim off any foam from the water, mix the batter until combined, and pour into cast iron pan, swirling it around so the oil sits on top of the batter.
Mix the salt and rosemary together then sprinkle it over the batter.
Shut the oven off and turn the broiler on low. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, checking periodically to ensure it does not burn. It's done when the middle no longer jiggles.
Remove from the oven and let rest.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
