An Argentine Take

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 29, 2003 at 12:09 PM

From the Daily News comes word of "Pizza the Argentine Way" at Las Americas of Corona, Queens:

What makes it Argentinean is the addition of "faina," a crisp top crust made of harina de garbanzos (chickpea flour). The faina is slow-baked separately and placed on top of the pizza before putting the whole thing in the oven again. The resulting slice ($3.70) is a kind of wedge-shaped sandwich with a distinctive crunchy top and a flavorful, melted ooze in the middle."

Doesn't sound too bad. I wonder if faina is anything like panelle, the chickpea-flour fritters found in such places as Ferdinando's Focacceria in Red Hook or Joe's of Avenue U.
