K now to socca!

This was my first time trying/making Socca & it turned out great!

So what is Socca?

• It is a type of thin, unleavened pancake or crêpe made from chickpea flour.
• It is a great source of fiber, protein & has a slew of vitamins & minerals.

I added just a bit of chia seeds to my socca for extra nutrients & to help absorb more of the liquid in the batter.

This recipe is easy to make & lets you be creative by choosing your own toppings.

• You can top it with nut butter & fruit for a healthy dessert, or
• with veggies & a homemade sauce for a yummy & nutritious meal.

• Servings: 1
• Time: 40 minutes
• Difficulty: easy

*This makes one socca so double recipe as need.

Ingredients

Socca:

• 1/4 c chickpea flour
• 1/3 c water
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp nutritional yeast/ nooch

Toppings I used:

• Roasted brussles sprouts
• Baked sweet potato chunks
• Sauteed peppers
• Sauteed mushrooms
• Tomato
• Organic white wine vinegar
• Italian seasoning

Avocado/ yogurt sauce:

• 1/3 of an avocado
• 1/4 c cilantro
• 1/4 c plain greek or non-dairy yogurt
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions

Socca:

1. Add all the socca ingredients to a small bowl.
2. Whisk & set aside for half an hour to allow seeds to soak & mixture to thicken.
3. Heat a small sized skillet on medium heat & spray with non stick spray.
4. Once pan is hot & mixture has set, spoon batter into the pan & make sure it is evenly distributed (the benefit of using a small pan is that you can smooth the batter among the whole pan for an even distribution & perfect circle).
5. Let batter cook for 3 minutes.
6. Use a spatula to carefully lift sides, then flip.
7. Allow to cook on the other side an additional 3 minutes.
8. Remove from pan & top with desired toppings.

Toppings:

1. I first roasted my brussels sprouts & sweet potato, without any oil, & sprinkled with Flavor God’s Italian Seasoning.
2. I sauteed the mushrooms & peppers in organic white wine vinegar.

Avocado/yogurt Sauce:

1. Add all avocado/yogurt sauce ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. I added the sauce to a clear squirt bottle to distribute evenly on top.

What will you top your socca with?!
