SOCCA (PROVENCAL SAVORY CHICKPEA PANCAKE) - GLUTEN-FREE



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.

CHICKPEA SOCCA



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.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chickpea flour. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your socca.
  • Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
  • Cook the socca over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Don't flip the socca too often. Flipping it too often will make it more likely to break.
  • Serve the socca immediately with your favorite toppings. It's best enjoyed warm.

Conclusion:

Socca is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little experimentation, you'll be able to create the perfect socca for you and your family.
