You have to try this Farinata with Roasted Carrot & Harissa Dip. Seriously, Farinata is one of my favourite foods, it’s so simple to make, full of nutrients and always delicious. It’s a great recipe to add in to your meal prep as it works so well for a packed lunch and I’m also adding this one to my Christmas table as the ultimate make ahead nibble to begin your feast. It’s a great option for most as it’s vegan, gluten free and can be customised with whatever flavours you love.
