SOCCA (PROVENCAL SAVORY CHICKPEA PANCAKE) - GLUTEN-FREE
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.

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.

Tips:
- To make the perfect socca batter, use a high-quality chickpea flour. Look for a brand that is finely ground and has a light, nutty flavor.
- Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flour to absorb the water and develop its full flavor.
- When cooking the socca, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle. This will help the socca to cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Be patient when cooking the socca. It will take several minutes for the pancake to cook through. Don't be tempted to flip it too soon, or it will fall apart.
- Serve the socca hot, with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Socca is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. With its crispy crust and light, airy interior, socca is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
