Indeed you can find "Torta di Ceci" in the works of Maestro Martino.

Check out a transcription at http://www.uni-giessen.de/gloning/tx/martino2.htm

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Sca-cooks] Medieval origins of farinata?


Farinata, also known as torta di ceci (chickpea pie), socca, cinque cinque, and other names, allegedly has a medieval origin, according to this Reuters story:

I'm a little dubious about that origin story, but hey, whatever. 

(I found the discussion of socca/farinata/panelle in the Florilegium, by the way!)

It does make wonder how baking up a few cookie sheets of farinata would go over for a dayboard (especially made savory with onion and rosemary).

Yum.
