Socca

Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpea flour - ensure it's fine; sifted if necessary
• 1 cup water - room temperature
• 3 tablespoons olive oil - plus extra for greasing
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper - freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary - finely chopped, optional

Step-by-step instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking sheet or a round pan inside to heat. Once hot, add a little olive oil to coat the pan, then pour in the batter to about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the edges are crispy and the top is lightly golden.
3. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary (if using), then cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Serving suggestion

Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper, alongside a chilled glass of rosé or a light aperitif.
