The fainá is a dish that can be prepared in many forms and recipes, the most common are to combine ingredients, then let them stand and cook in oven at 180 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. This dish is a supplement that is eaten with the pizza, made with chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt and pepper, but now it can be prepared with other ingredients. The fainá is originated in Genoa, Italy; its original name is farinata (Italian) and fainá Genoese dialect. Its preparation went from Italy to the stores in the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires and Montevideo, where pizza is very popular.

    I tasted Faina in my visit to Italy some months ago and it really was delicious and different. I didn?t know I could prepare it by myself, I?m going to make a meeting with some friends and pizza and adding this extra ingredient could make a perfect and delicious night. Thanks for the recipes!

    You know, it’s crazy sometimes to think of all the different cultures out there and all the different types of cooking that have been invested over the course of thousands of years. I love reading about new foods like this, because it just makes me realize how small my experience is, it’s very exciting!!
