Chard farinata with leafy greens pesto

Pesto Italian cuisine

This is a secretly healthy, vegan recipe, but shh... don't tell! Farinata is a savory cake from the Liguria region of Italy and is made from chickpea flour which makes it gluten-free. The flavorful pesto is made from kale, spinach and chard and has a generous helping of protein rich hemp seeds. I used pine nuts in the pesto as well, but if you want to go completely nut free, just substitute the pine nuts with more hemp seeds.
