Scarpaccia recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 zucchini
- 4 fresh spring onions
- Fine salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 90 g flour
- 40 g chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
- Wash the zucchini and spring onions thoroughly. Cut the zucchini into thin slices and chop the spring onions. Put them in a bowl, add salt, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for two hours.
- Then use the liquid released by the vegetables to mix with the flour, oil, pepper and grated cheese. Stir well until a well-integrated mixture is obtained -you can add a little water-.
- Take a baking pan, grease it well and preheat the oven to 190 °C. Spread the mixture and add a little oil and bake for half an hour, or until you see a golden crust.
