Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more for zucchini
- ½ pound chickpea flour about 1 ⅔ cups, fine
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon rosemary fresh leaves
- 12 zucchini about 1 ½ ounces, very thin slices
- ½ red bell pepper thinly sliced, roasted
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine water, salt, chickpea flour, and 2tbsp olive oil. Stir well with a whisk. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours.
- Lay the zucchini slices on a piece of paper towel in a single layer, and sprinkler with salt. Let the zucchini rest for 30 minutes so that it releases much of its water. Dab the zucchini dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the bottom of an 11 by 7 by 2-inch nonstick pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Stir the rosemary into the chickpea flour mixture. Pour the thin batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture starts to set. Lay the zucchini and roasted red pepper slices evenly over the batter and bake for an additional 20minutes, or until the edges turn brown and become crisp.
- Remove the focaccia from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and gently remove from the pan. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Cut into about 12 pieces.
Notes
- Adapted from a recipe by Marcella Hazen.
- This is best served warm, but will still have great flavor if left at room temperature for a couple of hours. It will not, however, taste good the next day.
