Chickpea flour is made from ground dried chickpeas and is naturally gluten-free. It is the base of Ligurian farinata, Tuscan cecina and Sicilian panelle.
Mixed with water it becomes a batter that replaces eggs in vegan omelettes; kneaded with oil it makes a tasty savoury shortcrust, an easy way to eat more pulses. Let the batter rest for a few hours before cooking.
