Chickpea Socca image

This chickpea-flour crepe is amenable to many Mediterranean- or Middle Eastern-inspired toppings, including a simple yogurt sauce: Try mixing Greek yogurt with lemon zest and a touch of lemon juice (shown above) or, for something with a little spice to it, a bit of harissa.

Time 2h35m

Yield 7 socca

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chickpea flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Cooking oil (canola or grapeseed)
Extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt, to finish
Extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt, to finish
Desired toppings (e.g., Greek yogurt with lemon zest and juice; Greek yogurt mixed with harissa; tzatziki; hummus or olives)

Steps:

  • Mix the chickpea flour, water, cumin and salt together until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil. Let sit for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. (If refrigerating, allow to come to room temperature for 2 hours before cooking.)
  • Preheat the broiler to high. In a 9-inch cast-iron pan on top of the stove, heat a small layer of oil until smoking. Add socca batter until a thin pancake forms. Cook until the edges just start to brown, then run the pan under the broiler. Broil until the batter looks cooked and starts to blister slightly.
  • Flip the socca onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with toppings and cut into wedges.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The socca was too dry and bland. I think I'll stick to my regular chickpea pancake recipe.
