Method

Your notes

1. Begin by preparing the farinata batter. In a large bowl, mix the gram flour, water, and salt. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the water fully.

2. While the batter is resting, preheat your oven to 200°C /180°C fan. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to an ovenproof 9-inch frying pan and place it in the oven to heat up.

3. Once the oil is hot, carefully remove the frying pan from the oven. Pour in the batter, scatter over the herbs, sprinkle with pepper, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

4. While the farinata bakes, add the cherry tomatoes and sliced courgettes to a 9-inch baking tray. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place in the middle of the oven. Roast for 30 minutes until the vegetables are golden brown and sticky.

5. After the initial 30 minutes, remove the vegetable tray from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F) to get the farinata crispy. Bake the farinata for an additional 5 minutes until golden and slightly crisp on the edges.

6. Carefully remove the farinata from the oven, slice it up, and serve with the roasted courgettes and tomatoes on top. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the vegetable tray over the farinata for extra flavour.
