HOW TO MAKE SOCCA
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄2 medium onion, sliced
- 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaf, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) inside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift chickpea flour, pepper, and salt together, then add rosemary leaves.
Step 3
Whisk warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil into the flour mixture.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the batter set for at least 30 minutes until it reaches the consistency of thick cream.
Step 5
Stir the sliced onion into the batter.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the oven, and add 1 tbsp olive oil to the hot pan.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pancake is firm and the edges are set (the top may not be browned).
Step 8
For a finishing touch, set the socca a few inches below your broiler for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown it in spots.
Step 9
Finally, cut the socca into wedges and serve it hot with your choice of toppings.
