Italian Chickpea Flatbread With Vegetables

"If you’ve been looking for a gluten-free, high-protein, and deeply satisfying dish, this Italian chickpea flatbread is exactly what you need. Known traditionally as farinata in Liguria or cecina in Tuscany, this golden, savory flatbread made from chickpea flour is beloved across Italy and beyond. The version we’re diving into today adds a colorful twist with sautéed vegetables like zucchini, carrot, and onion-making it hearty, healthy, and irresistibly good. Farinata has humble origins in the coastal region of Liguria, particularly around Genoa. Made with only a few pantry ingredients, it was a staple for sailors and working families. The batter, consisting of chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt, was traditionally poured into wide, shallow copper pans and baked in wood-fired ovens until the edges crisped up and the top turned golden."
