Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour 
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt 
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1½ cups water 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven.
  • Whisk together chickpea flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of evoo. Allow batter to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it's very thick, add the remaining ½ cup of water.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and coat with 2 tablespoons evoo.
  • Pour batter into the skillet and bake at 450°F for 15 minutes, or until it's firm throughout and gently golden on the edges. Drizzle 1 or 2 tablespoons evoo on the top of the batter and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes more, until the top is crispy and lightly golden.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with Roasted Carrots, salad, caramelized onions, pulled brisket, fish, chicken. Or as they do in the south of France and parts of Italy, just plain.
