Ingredients
- 1 c chickpea flour
- 1 c water
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients except the final tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until smooth.
- Let the batter rest on the counter for 30 min, to allow the flour to absorb some of the water.
- When you are ready to cook the socca, place the 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10” cast iron frying pan. Place the pan with the oil on your oven’s middle rack. Preheat your broiler to medium high.
- Once the oil and oven are hot, remove the pan from the oven, give the batter one good stir, and pour the batter into the hot pan.
- Immediately place the pan back into the oven under the broiler.
- Bake 10-15 min checking every few minutes, as baking times will vary depending on broiler. Your socca is done when the edges are pulling away from the sides of the pan and the top is beginning to blister from the heat.
- Transfer to a cutting board and slice into pieces. Serve warm with salt and pepper.
