How to Make Socca

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 10 mins + 2 hours (inactive)

Cooking time: 8 mins

Ingredients needed to make Socca:

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 ½ tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
• ¼ tsp ground cumin
• ½ cup olive oil
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cooking instructions for Socca:

• Place the flour in a medium mixing bowl and empty a cup of water into it.
• Sprinkle a dash of salt and 1 tbsp of the minced rosemary into it, followed by a drizzling of 2 tbsp olive oil and whisk them thoroughly until they blend into a uniform batter, free of lumps.
• Place a lid on top and let it rest for a couple of hours at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, place 10’’ cake pan within your broiler and warm it up to high for 10 minutes.
• Spread 3 tbsp of oil across the base and sides of the pan and tip half of the batter into it.
• Tilt the pan slightly to let the batter spread across its base into a thin layer and broil for about 4 minutes or until they brown and crisp up around the edges.
• Take it out of the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Remove it from the pan onto a serving plate and sprinkle rest of the rosemary, ground cumin and a dash of seasonings over it; keep warm.
• Make the other chickpea pancake in a similar fashion and garnish with remaining ingredients.
• Serve warm.
