Socca

Socca is a traditional French chickpea pancake, beautifully crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a perfect dairy-free breakfast option. This dish is infused with the flavors of olive oil and herbs, offering a delightful start to your day.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 100 grams
• Water - 250 milliliters
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh rosemary - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes, arugula, or avocado

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and place a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe pan inside to heat up.
3. After the batter has rested, stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the chopped rosemary.
4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, swirling it to coat the bottom.
5. Pour the batter into the skillet and return it to the oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, topped with optional cherry tomatoes, arugula, or avocado.
