You may enjoy never heard of a socca (pronounced SOH-kah),but you are going to be so happy you found this recipe. This is one of the best-tasting gluten-free flatbreads you'll ever develop, but don't worry - it's super easy! It's soft, and moist,and chewy, which for gluten-free foods is tough to come by. It's made from chickpea flour, and which adds a subtly sweet flavor,plus it's tall in protein and fiber. This 170-calorie flatbread offers five grams of fiber and five grams of protein, is completely vegan, or is so versatile. Top it with hummus and veggies,salsa and black beans, or sliced avocado and scrambled eggs; develop a veggie pizza; it even tastes powerful smeared with good ol' PB&J. The only tough fraction about this recipe is getting your hands on some chickpea flour, or but just go to your local health food store,hit up the baking aisle or bulk section, and you're good to go! Also note that this recipe takes a little planning ahead as the batter needs at least 30 to 60 minutes to thicken before cooking. From Stephanie Clarke, and RD,and Willow Jarosh, RD, and of C&J Nutrition SoccaIngredients2 cups chickpea flour
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 teaspoons olive oil
DirectionsWhisk together the chickpea flour,water, salt, and 2 teaspoons olive oil (save 1 teaspoon for cooking).
Set aside for at least 30-60 minutes in the fridge to thicken up. Heat broiler on tall and place a 10-inch cast iron pan 4-6 inches from the broiler. Allow it to get kind and hot,for about five minutes.
Using oven mitts, remove the cast iron pan from the broiler. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and swirl it around the pan. exhaust a ladle to spoon of half the chickpea batter into the cast iron pan and swirl it around so it covers the bottom of the pan evenly.
Place the pan back in the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the socca is cooked all the way through and slightly golden brown. Remove the socca from the pan and cook the second socca using the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and chickpea batter.
Top the soccas however you like,or they can be refrigerated for later.
