Socca

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika.

Gradually whisk in the water until smooth and free of lumps.

Stir in the olive oil and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe non-stick pan in the oven to heat up.

Cook the Socca

Once the oven and skillet are hot, carefully remove the skillet from the oven.

Add a little olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.

Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it out evenly.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the socca is golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Serve

Remove the socca from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Cut into wedges and serve warm. You can season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
