Fainá

A side dish from the Argentinian kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 200g Chickpea Flour
  • 600ml Water
  • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper

Method

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk together chickpea flour, water, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 4 hours. Bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Pour olive oil into a round baking dish and heat in the oven. Pour in the batter and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Serve: Slice and serve hot, optionally with black pepper on top. Pro Tips:
  2. Let the batter rest for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, to ensure the chickpea flour fully hydrates and the flavors meld. For a crispy edge, preheat the baking pan with oil in the oven before adding the batter.
