“Farinata (which literally means floured) is a thin, crisp, pizza-like pancake from Liguria, Italy which its variations are eaten in many different Mediterranean countries and beyond. It is similar to the socca from Nice, France.
It is made by stirring chickpea flour into a mixture of water and olive oil to form a loose batter, and baking it in the oven. Farinata may be seasoned with fresh rosemary, pepper and sea salt. Traditionally farinata is cut into irregularly shaped triangular slices, and enjoyed (with no toppings) on small plates with optional black pepper, or stuffed into small focaccia. It is usually sold in pizzerias.”

I ordered one with slices of onion on top. It was very thin and quite tasty when eating hot and fresh. It does remind me of Socca in Nice.
