Farinata
Farinata is Liguria's (Italy) gift to the world. It is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and vegan. Crispy yet soft, it consists of three ingredients and two spices. It works so well as part of any meal and is a great substitute for bread. People that are gluten-free and dairy-free won't believe you when you tell them it is suitable for them. Serve it on its own, with spread cheese, or top it with salsas accompanied with pickled tomatoes, or a salad.
