    Socca (Chickpea Flatbread Pancake)


    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction


    Recipe slightly adapted by Kalyn's Kitchen
    original recipe from The Sweet Life in Paris and Socca Enfin on
    Davidlebovitz.com.)

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup chickpea flour
    1 cup plus 2 T water
    3/4 tsp. sea salt
    1/4 tsp. ground cumin (David used 1/8 tsp.)
    1 1/2 T olive oil (plus more for brushing griddle and drizzling over
    finished Socca)

    Recipe



    Whisk together the chickpea flour, water, cumin, and olive oil. Cover container and let rest for 2-3 hours at room temperature.

    When ready to cook Socca, preheat broiler. (I have a gas broiler, so I'm not sure how the results would be different with an electric broiler.) When broiler is hot, brush cast iron griddle or frying pan with olive oil, heat under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, then remove from oven (use a mitt!) and pour on a thin layer of batter.

    Cook Socca under the broiler until it has firmed and well-browned, especially on the edges. For me, this took 2-4 minutes under the broiler. Continue to make Socca pancakes like this, brushing the griddle with oil and heating it between each one.

    Cut finished Socca into rough triangular pieces, sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve hot.
