Socca Swooning
Hiiiiii 😀 How are you? Hope your morning is off to a lovely start! Thanks for the feedback on the WSU Week 2 workout– from what I can hear, you’re loving it so far and feel hardcore in the gym- always a bonus 🙂 Keep rocking it out, my friends.
Last night, I experimented with a new-to-me flour:
Chickpea flour!
I’ve always stayed far away from chickpea flour because it tastes like death if you try to eat any dough that’s made with it. I decided to be brave, because my twinnie friends use it to make socca, and socca is DELICIOUS. I had about a thousand pieces when Michelle (my Foodbuzz roomie) brought a stash to Foodbuzz festival 🙂
I was determined to make socca
and reigned victorious 😉
It was SO EASY. Socca seems like one of those things that everyone says is easy to make, but like all bread products, is kind of intimidating. It’s ridiculously easy, I promise.
All ya do is mix equal parts chickpea flour and water (I used 1/2 of each)
season with sea salt and pepper, or fresh herbs if you like
and cook in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, on medium-high heat (using whatever oil you like. I used coconut oil as the twins use, and it was glorious)
Ka-pow.
I enjoyed my socca with a bag of steamed organic broccoli, topped with organic butter and tamari
and for dessert, a serving of raw choco-cado pudding, using honey instead of agave. thinned out with a little almond milk
+ tea
It was perfect 😀
I’m surprisingly enjoying this detox thang so far. Then again, it’s only Day 2, so we shall see 😉
I’m off to run errands, teach, then look at a house that we could potentially buy if we get stationed here!
See ya later today <3
xoxo

I’ve never even heard of socca! Looks mighty tasty!
That Socca looks soooooooo good! I am making an eggplant celery stew for dinner, and that sounded like the PERFECT accompaniment for my dinner! Sadly, my local supermarket didn’t stock the floud 🙁 Gotta hit up WholeFoods ASAP — thanks for the idea!! 🙂

Bella is looking sassy in that picture! Such a cute face!
I’ve never heard of socca before but it looks so yummy and easy! It would be fun to stuff them and make savory crepes. 😀
hmm, i’ve never heard of chickpea flour before! Looks just like “regular” flour though, so can’t be bad! : )
Ahh! I have so much chickpea flour that I rarely use…this recipe is PERFECT! I think I’m officially in love with you now! 🙂
YAY you made it!!! I knew you would love it! I hope the detox goes well, I hope to do one here soon 🙂

i bought some chickpea flour on impulse & had no idea what to do with it until now!! this couldnt be easier!
I made a socca variation on yours above of 1/2 flour + 1/2 water.
I made only 1/3 though, increased the water and used unbleached flour. When it was done I broiled it took a crisp and topped it like a pizza! Thanks…
