Socca (Provencal Savory Chickpea Pancake) - Gluten-Free image

Soccas are a garbanzo flour pizza-like flatbread from the Southeastern France. It is naturally and traditionally gluten-free and easy to make. They can be served with any kind of topping... Try it with Kalamata Tapenade ("Recipe #156988"), ratatouille, or sauteed vegetables and herbs. The best one I've ever had was topped with carmelized onions, black olives and anchovies. Adapted from a recipe by Mark Bittman of the New York Times. Gluten-free - Dairy-free - Kosher: Pareve. This recipe makes 1 large socca pancake, the diameter of a 10" cast iron pan. When sliced into quarters, it should serve 2 people as a main dish or 4 people as an appetizer.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup chickpea flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaf, minced

Steps:

  • Place heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet in oven and preheat to 450.
  • In a large bowl, sift chickpea flour, pepper and salt together. After sifting, add rosemary leaves.
  • Whisk in warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil.
  • Cover the bowl and allow the batter set for at least 30 minutes, which should have the consistency of thick cream. Stir sliced onion into the batter.
  • Remove skillet from oven. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the hot pan, pour batter into pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pancake is firm and the edges are set (top may not be browned).
  • Set socca a few inches below your broiler for 1-2 minutes, just long enough to brown it in spots. Cut into wedges and serve hot, with toppings of your choice.

I'm allergic to chickpeas, so I can't try this recipe. :(

These pancakes are too bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices, but they still didn't have much flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pancakes turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
