Farinata of Chickpea with Zucchini Salad

Farinata is a thick pancake made with a thin mix of chickpea flour with lots of olive oil and sea salt, cooked in a pan in a very hot oven until it is gold and crusty. It is important that the pan is perfectly flat and level when in the oven; otherwise one of the corners will be thicker and will be undercooked when the opposite corner starts to darken.
