Serving: 4
Calories: 235kcal
Ingredients
- 200 ml warm water
- 125 g chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste
Topping:
- 4 Parma Ham thin slices
- Handful of rocket leaves
- 6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tablespoon basil pesto, (optional)
Instructions
- Place the water in a large bowl and slowly whisk in the chickpea flour until fully incorporated, then whisk in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of extra-virgin olive oil and season with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste. Whisk gently to combine all the ingredients, until the batter has reached a lump-free creamy consistency. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 430 F/220 C and arrange the baking tray onto the middle shelf.
- Heat a 10 or 12-inch oven-safe cast-iron or metal skillet over low-medium heat, then brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of extra-virgin olive oil and pour in the chickpea batter. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until the top is slightly golden brown and the edges have browned nicely.
- Remove the skillet from the oven (always use oven gloves, the skillet is hot!) allow to cool slightly, then gently loosen the bottom with a spatula and transfer the socca onto a wood board or serving plate.
- Top the socca with rocket leaves, sliced cherry tomatoes, thin slices of Parma Ham, drizzle with optional basil pesto sauce and serve.
