If you love the chickpea flour you will love pea flour: an easy and delicious vegan and gluten-free recipe. Again, very few poor ingredients are the protagonists of the dish: pea flour, Salt, water, Extra virgin olive oil, carrots and onions. If you have seen the pea crepes with ricotta and ham, you know i'm passionate about pea flour. And I wanted to experiment with it also in the form of farinata: the result I loved, because it has the texture of chickpea farinata, but it's slightly sweeter.
Pea flour
Pea flour is gluten-free and rich in protein and insoluble fiber: has 340 calories per 100 grams and you get from pea seed, dried, decorated and finally finely ground. Given the low glycemic index (69) diabetics are also recommended. Wanting to, you can do it even in the house: if you have a powerful mixer, simply blend the dried peas decorated until you get a very fine flour. You can use it to make pancakes, add it to other types of flour and semola to make bread, pizza or fresh pasta.
For lovers of legume flours: don't forget to try (And why not, also to experiment with pea flour alternatively) the Panelle CHICKPEAS (with the video recipe) on my YouTube channel and the OMELETTE VEGAN CHICK PEAS AND ONIONS, very delicious.
I recommend, respect the rest times of the farinata, because they will gain both the taste and the consistency. You can enjoy it hot, warm, but also cold. Is’ delicious accompanied by soft and creamy cheeses like Brie, Camembert but also stracchino and robiola. And now I wish you good day!
