A staple now. Friends are fighting over every crumb. Sometimes I get a bite. Sometimes I make one when I’m home alone, just for me!!! So good. Thanks, CJ. You never fail.
In other parts of Italy they make it a little thinner and put it in a sandwich, called 5 and 5 because there's an equal amount of bread and farinata.. And they call it, Farinata, Torta di Ceci or Cecina. I just wanted to wave my knowledge.. Love it!
This is one of the staple foods of Uruguay and Argentina (due to the large number of people of Italian descent in those countries). It is usually eaten with plenty of white pepper, and/or a white mustard sauce (made with white vinegar, beer, mustard, white pepper, and flour/cornstarch), and it's a common to pair it with pizza "a caballo" ("riding a horse"-style). Thanks Chef John as always for the awesome recipe and humor
I found a UA-cam Video on it from 11 years ago. Why do you have to put one UA-camr before another? So unnecessary. Just be grateful we have wonderful people to bring us these recipes. Enough with the complaining.
Researched for chickpea flour recipe and reached here. I tried the recipe and it turned out sooooooooooooo yummy! Much tastier than I was expected, thank you much for the recipe!
Hi Chef,I made this tonight and ended up with several pieces of divine goodness. My hubby loved it and asked if I could make it again. This is a great recipe, and I added the rosemary as well as a little garlic and a pinch or two of "heat". FANTASTIC!!! The problem is, it's hard to describe the taste to anyone, so I'll just stick with "divine goodness'".
I very very rarely post comments on youtube but I found the commentary on this hillarious but informative. And superb recipe, I am trying it today... What a great guy!
Originally from Italy, called Farinatta in Uruguay we call it Fainá. You did an awesome job!! It’s so delicious by itself, but if you put it on top of a slice of cheese pizza, it’s AMAZING!!! Please try it!!
SUSANA H. Why would anyone put another type of bread over a pizza? Very baffling. Pizza is a dish by itself with more than enough calories. I feel that both the pizza and the bread would feel insulted.
@@seemaprasad6677 because that's the way people ate it in Uruguay and Argentina, at the same time We could consider very baffling and nasty all your curry garbage or the oil you use in your Indian skin which smells like a rotten egg, please if you don't have anything positive to comment, save your poison for yourself.
Point2 Homes You really are an extremely nasty person. It was an honest bafflement. The internet gives you license to sprew your nastiness as and when u feel like.
I like your hot pan method! Cold farinata makes a great salad crouton or casserole topping. Chickpea flour should be in everyone's pantry...so versatile and delicious.
"You're the Heidi Fleiss of your slice." Oh man that one made me lol - hit me just right. Addicted to these videos, Chef John. I've watched at least 150 of them. Just now after that Heidi Fleiss comment I thought I gotta know more about this guy than experiencing the disembodied voice. Watching "Get to Know Chef John from Food Wishes" on Hungry Nation. Keep up the good work!
I can't believe how delicious this is! Simple, very few ingredients, deliciso!! IF I were to add cheese (not needed, but I will), I'll reduce the salt.
This is my first time to this channel. I love it. Love your lilting voice and your humor. Oh, and I loved the recipe also! Now I have to listen to some other recipes because it's Friday, been a long week, and I need a laugh. Thank you for the entertainment!
I was introduced to Chef John by a foodie pal. Everything we've made from this channel has turned out beautifully. Can't say that about too many cooking sites.
YUM... we used to make this a lot when i was a little girl!! We ate it plain or sometimes with a tiny bit of drizzled butter with the black pepper on the top. When its left over we would reheat it in the morning with a drizzle of honey. ...Delizioso!!
Chef John, here in Argentina we call it Faina eat it in top of the pizza slices and it's delicious! Some places even do it with a little parsley and garlic. You must try it!
Great stuff! I bought some of this flour not long ago. They do some nice things with this in Italy and the South of France. Torto from Livorno and socca from Menton come to mind! Nice for the gluten intolerant and very good for the prostate.
most of the foam is from dumping all the water in and whisking too much air into it, the lumps are gone quicker if you add enough water to make a paste and then add the rest of the water gradually. i found no difference from skimming the foam in the way of flatulence.
Thank you for a gluten free recipe, Chef John! It is so hard to eat gluten free because things just don't taste as good, but this gives me hope that I can enjoy eating gluten free!
I love you Chef John! Don't worry I'm married and love my husband dearly. I just love your voice, intonation and the good feelings it sparks. Thank you for the delicious recipes! I also have my channel, mostly in Portuguese, but if I had your lovely voice I wouldn't stop making videos! Thank you for the music... (Mama Mia's song. Your voice is like slow music)
Crazy delicious!!! If you want to be awesome at a cocktail party, make this while everyone is standing around the kitchen. How often do you get to eat something right out of the oven?! There will be no left overs. Low carb and gluten free a definite plus
made this for my dinner tonight and had some ratatouille along side. It was so tasty. But i think my frying pan was too small as it was still quite squidgy on the inside. Is that how it should be? So tasty i ate the whole thing! Great vegan dish to add to my repertoire :) xxx
gram flour, besan flour if there's an indian grocer nearby... \o/ YAY \o/ you finally made it and isn't it just WONDERFUL! i usually make mine with onion and asparagus but it's good with just onion too. in france it's called socca. since i can't eat eggs it's a regular staple in my house. \o/
I discovered chana flour today, and I've got some chickpea muffins in the over right now. Cant wait to taste them. I'll definitely try this recipe of yours soon. thanks for sharing ;-)
Good observation. It is also called GRAM FLOUR here in France for English speakers. Greetings from Saint-Denis. I know French and Italian variations on this and it's ancient, Etruscan-like. A super hot oven and letting the mix bloom a bit is needed. Also skimming it, as he says. It is socca in the South of France and torto in Livorno, Italy. A little different and yet essentially the same thing. Pepper! Rosemary! Yeah.
Can you grind the beans yourself, if you have some on hand? Can you add a pinch baking powder for the gas? My son gets pains from beans beans, these aren't soaked first, they grind them dry so ouch, better skim it off,
Hi, congratulations for the recipe! Here in southamerica that dish is called "fainá", and is on every restaurant menu. We usually put it over a pizza slide and that's "pizza a caballo" (riding pizza!)
Hi Chef John. I love your recipes. Your proof that you don't have to be a woman to be a good cook. Your macaroni and cheese recipe is my staple know. Only thing is I add earthworms. That's right earthworms. It's real good and high in protein. Brought it to my office Thanksgiving party last year. Everyone freaked and my boss told me not to ever bring anything into the office again, but I like it. I've gained 70 pounds. Hope all is well with you. I also like your fried chicken.
Looking through all my subscriptions thinking... I don't want to watch that, I don't want to watch that, I don't want to watch that..... OH, Chief John made a new video O.O ?? Totally watching that !!
There is an Indian dish like this made with potatoes added to the mix - I forget the name, but my family loves them...they affectionately call them "Camel Patties" because they are small flat, round biscuit like disks. Chickpea flour and Potatoes with just a few Indian spices - amazingly good. I'm sure this is going to be as awesome as everything else you've taught me to make thus far - I'm going to have to get a treadmill!
Hi! Use this batter and cook pancakes. There's no way to cook farinata without an oven. But this batter makes great pancakes. Fry over a medium high heat for 4 to 6 minutes a side. The beauty of this batter is that it can be sweet or savoury too. If you want you can add a layer of sautéed veg on the wet side. Then wait until the top is dry then flip.
You really do sell this. I'm almost attempted to try it but I know my taste buds detest garbanzo beans and garbanzo bean flour. What a wonderful dish for those who like it though. I'm envious.
In Argentina we call it Fainá, and is a side dish for Pizza... it´s actually a 'top-dish', as we usually lay a slice on top of a pizza slice and eat both together. Give it a try!
Garbanzo=Chickpea So if you don't see garbanzo but you see chickpea flour then get it. If your grocery store doesn't haven't and they won't order it for you then you can get some from Amazon :)
Jamie Kim. garbanzo flour is sold as BESAN in Indian groceries. You will see it in 2, 4 and larger packages under LAXMI, SWAD and other brands. This is the raw garbanzo flour. When garbanzos are parched/roasted and ground, that flour is called Shaktu in Sanskrit, Sattu in Hindi, Chhaatu in Bengali, and various other names in regional Indian languages. The parched form is the Tsampa of the Tibetans, except Tibetans generally prefer 100% barley flour. Indians also love parched barley flour, the original sacred food of the Indo-Aryans, also termed SHAKTU in the RgVeda, but they cut it with garbanzo in modern times, barley being much dearer in the plains today. In my childhood more than 50 years ago, barley was freshly roasted each day, along with Indian dark garbanzos, in whatever proportion affordable & freshly ground, making the most delightful and perfect food, to be mixed with water or milk. Tibetans mix tsampa with salty butter tea which is an amazing potion. Just like beer is a bitter brew for which you acquire an addiction, so also with Tibetan PHOCHA, mixed with tsampa. Hundreds of Indian sweet and savory dishes are made of the 2 kinds of garbanzo flour. An entire cuisine depends on these 2 flours just like hundreds of preparations are made of beef mince in the West!! Investigate and enjoy!!
Next time you could try making some panelle with garbanzo flour: make a polenta with garbanzo flour, and, once cold, make game card size slices and deep fry! :D For flavouring add pepper, and parsley in the polenta stage. Enjoy!!!!

Yes, many forget that Italian is spoken in various parts w/in SA. Along w/ other languages....which I love :-)
Chef John brings the Farinata game a decade before pasta grammer! Always ahead of the game!

Garbanzo bean flour aka chickpea flour is used a lot in Indian cooking and so can also be found in Indian grocers labeled as besan. :-)
I was looking for this comment.
Exactly and so cheap too. It be soooooo expensive in the health food shops
Excellent info!! Thanks!!
Researched for chickpea flour recipe and reached here. I tried the recipe and it turned out sooooooooooooo yummy! Much tastier than I was expected, thank you much for the recipe!
You can also get the flour at an indian grocer. They call it Besan flour and I'm sure it is more affordable than other sources. Just FYI.
Besan is not same as Chickpeas

Okay. My bad

Thin crust or thick?
La fainá del Uruguay es lo ricisimo
The description about the size of the slices based on geography had me howling!!
I like your hot pan method! Cold farinata makes a great salad crouton or casserole topping. Chickpea flour should be in everyone's pantry...so versatile and delicious.
Fantastic. Added caramelized onions and a dash of hing to counter flatulence.
Thanks, my family members are gluten free, will try this soon. Chef John always come thru.
Just tried this recipe and loved it. It turned out crispy and tasty, so much better than a similar recipe I tried before.
Chef John, you are my favorite.
Just finished having it for dinner, it was heavenly!
Love john's recipes. One itaian lady tops hers with carmelized onions. Yum! I will try this as a GF pizza.
Oh I top this bad boy! Hummus, homemade pesto, or olives and tomatoes....all ways work 👌🏾

most of the foam is from dumping all the water in and whisking too much air into it, the lumps are gone quicker if you add enough water to make a paste and then add the rest of the water gradually. i found no difference from skimming the foam in the way of flatulence.
Yes I feel you
I cannot wait to cook this 😋recipe. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe meal idea 💡😋😊
i like the final ending shot. it's different from your usual ending shots and more artistic. love it!

Yes
Nice presentation, trying this today, hilarious voice over and loved the music 👏🏾👏🏾
I made this today, OMG - it's so good!
WOW this is not only vegan (so it's good for me too) but it's a delicious italian recipe :) Love you Chef John :) Thank you so much !!!!

"That's what the doctor of the olive oil company says and why would they lie."😂😂😂
In argentina we don't put anything on top of it (we call it Faina) but we put it on top of Pizza
Mmmm... Fainá! 😉
@@MiBariloche Mmmm... _pizza a caballo!_
You have coined a new phrase---"noisy recipe". Great.I like that.
made this for my dinner tonight and had some ratatouille along side. It was so tasty. But i think my frying pan was too small as it was still quite squidgy on the inside. Is that how it should be? So tasty i ate the whole thing! Great vegan dish to add to my repertoire :) xxx
We call this "fainá" in Argentina, and we eat slices of pizza and this together (in the same bite!). :)
I'd like to learn how to make it!! :)
Making it right now :). Not telling anyone what it is but simply telling them it's a Chef John recipe!!! They'll eat it up!
In Argentina they call this faina and serve a slive of it on top of a slice of pizza. It's cool to see a recipe in english :)
Really like this dish i would have it with a little onion marmalade
gram flour, besan flour if there's an indian grocer nearby...
\o/ YAY \o/ you finally made it and isn't it just WONDERFUL! i usually make mine with onion and asparagus but it's good with just onion too. in france it's called socca.

Rosemary is a traditional addition to Tuscan version of farinata, called "cecina".
Looks delightful!! Easy an original, must give it a try, thanks for the idea Chef John!
Oh gosh looks so good....I will try it tomorrow.....thanx a lot....
Just did this with my mom, holy, you're a god

Great points.
Made this and I was happily satisfied.
this is great for us lactose intolerant and gluten sensitive people thank you chef John
Any suggestions for additions to the batter? Maybe corn? Or something that will add to the crunchiness?

Does it have to go in the oven, or can it cook in the frying pan, on the stove? I want to add garlic, hot peppers and spibach..........
Oh man, gotta try this toooo
Oh my god, Chef John even has a socca recipe. I hadn't expected that.

top it with white ground pepper instead of black pepper. delicious!
Wooow it looks delicious
Same story with me; he's one of the rare automatic must watch!..
Adding the water gradually reduces the time whisking to make smooth batter
