Farinata with tahini sauce
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 500 g of aubergine
- 2 red peppers
- 2 onions
- 2 cups of chickpea flour (250 g)
- 2 cups water (500 ml)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (60 ml)
- 4-5 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin + 1 tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the tahini sauce:
- 2 tablespoon sesame paste
- 2 tablespoonful of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons pomegranate vinegar
- 1 clove of garlic, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Water, as needed
Preparation:
- In a bowl, combine the dough ingredients, without the veggies. Set the mixture aside covered, for 45 minutes.
- Cut the aubergine into small cubes and the pepper into strips and the onion into half-moons.
- In a tray, coat the vegetables in olive oil (2 tablespoons) and salt (1 teaspoon) and place in the oven. Turn on the oven to 200°C.
- Once the oven reaches 200ºC, keep an eye on the tray. The purpose is for the water released by the vegetables to evaporate.
- When the vegetables are almost ready, pour the batter onto the tray and put it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the tahini sauce to season the greens (we'll be using lettuce and chard): in a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the tahini sauce.
- The farinata is ready when the edges are golden brown and the inside is still moist.
- Serve sliced, accompanied with the green leaves, a spoonful of the tomato sauce and some of the tahini sauce.
