Caramelized Fennel And Onion Farinata
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4-5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup caramelized fennel (from a fennel bulb, thinly sliced and cooked on low in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- ground pepper
- Start the batter by mixing chickpea flour, water, sea salt and 2 tbsps olive oil by whisking, or as I did, with my blender. Set mixture aside for at least an hour. The batter should thicken slightly.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a cast iron pan over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (I used 3, as my pan is brand new). Add sliced onions and cook until softened and slightly golden. Remove from heat, and stir in the fennel and fennel seed, and give the mixture a few grinds of pepper. Distribute evenly over the bottom of the pan, then pour in your batter. Place pan in oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until set and golden. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving.
