Cinque e Cinque, also known as Farinata, is a storied Italian entree. In the Ligurian region of Italy, bake shops and pizzerias traditionally post signs in the store front window saying when this baked chickpea frittata will be ready, and customers stand in line waiting to enjoy these treats right out of the oven. The name "Cinque e' Cinque" was coined in the early 1900s by sailors coming through Livorno and refers to the going rate – five cents for the patty and five cents for the bread.
A healthy and simple dish to make at home with just the addition of water and olive oil, Cinque e Cinque is high in fiber, contains 9g of protein and is gluten free and vegan. Enjoy in a variety of different ways; sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and serve on a baguette, use as protein in a main dish, create a side dish topped with fresh tomato and basil, or use as a blank culinary canvas for any delicious combination.
