• 150g chickpea flour*
• salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil

Ingredients for the filling

*Ingredients whose labels must read “gluten free” (or, in Italy, present on  Prontuario AIC)

Preparation

1. Put the chickpea flour in a bowl and pour the water over it slowly, stirring continuously with a whisk so that no lumps form. Let the flour rest for 6-7 hours.
2. Heat a non-stick pan for crepes with a little extra virgin olive oil. Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of chickpea flour batter and cook it until golden brown; turn it over with the help of a spatula and allow it to brown on the second side as well.

3. Top the Farinata crepes with a layer of lettuce, then cover with slices of Provolone and finally ham. Fold them and serve.

Note: when soaking the chickpea flour, check the proportions indicated on the flour bag: they may vary depending on the chickpea flour used!
