Socca, or chickpea crepes, make a lovely appetizer. Whether eaten plain out of the oven or garnished, it is equally delicious. It is simply a batter of chickpea flour, water and olive oil cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven. I've also done it on the stove top, though the oven yields a crisper edge. To make it a more substantial course, I topped mine with an eggplant caviar (roasted eggplant, tahini and lemon juice), cherry tomatoes, fresh corn and chopped parsley. A drizzle of olive oil over the top would have finished it off perfectly. I'll have to remember that for next time.
Looks like we have a cherry tomato thief amongst us. Just look at the slice of socca there at the top of the photo. See… so yummy… it's just irresistible. Have a good week everyone.

Looks yum! Have never heard of socca. I put corn on my pizzas though. Startedputting corn on absolutely everything one time when my husband came home with a whole box of the stuff. Discovered what a lift it gives to so many dishes.
good luck with the jury duty. I was called up last year but managed to get dismissed.

[this is good] Oh wow! Socca sounds exactly like Indian poodas, except I like to put vegetables inside instead of on top. Looks utterly delicious..
