SOCCA (FARINATA)
This is essentially a large chickpea pancake from Provence (and neighboring Liguria, where it's called farinata). It's traditionally cooked in wood ovens on copper disks, roughly cut and served hot or warm. (In the main market in Nice, it's baked a few hundred yards away and delivered by bicycle, to be wrapped in paper and eaten on the street.) If you have no wood or copper, that's no problem. They're nearly as great in a skillet or in a pizza pan in your oven, and totally foolproof.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450. Put a well-seasoned or nonstick 12-inch pizza pan or cast-iron skillet in oven. (If you have a socca pan, obviously that will work well also.)
- Put the chickpea flour in a bowl; add the salt and pepper. Slowly add 1 cup lukewarm water, whisking to eliminate lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover and let sit while the oven heats, or for as long as 12 hours. The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream.
- Remove the pan, pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into it and swirl. Add the onions return the pan to the oven and cook, stirring once or twice, until they're well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the rosemary. Stir the onions and rosemary into the batter, then immediately pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake is firm and the edges set.
- Heat the broiler and brush the top of the pancake with 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil if it looks dry. Set the pancake a few inches away from the broiler, and cook just long enough to brown it in spots. Cut it into wedges, and serve hot or warm.

CHICKPEA SOCCA
This chickpea-flour crepe is amenable to many Mediterranean- or Middle Eastern-inspired toppings, including a simple yogurt sauce: Try mixing Greek yogurt with lemon zest and a touch of lemon juice (shown above) or, for something with a little spice to it, a bit of harissa.

Steps:
- Mix the chickpea flour, water, cumin and salt together until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil. Let sit for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. (If refrigerating, allow to come to room temperature for 2 hours before cooking.)
- Preheat the broiler to high. In a 9-inch cast-iron pan on top of the stove, heat a small layer of oil until smoking. Add socca batter until a thin pancake forms. Cook until the edges just start to brown, then run the pan under the broiler. Broil until the batter looks cooked and starts to blister slightly.
- Flip the socca onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with olive oil. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with toppings and cut into wedges.
SHREDDED VEGETABLE SOCCA
Socca is street food in Nice, in the South of France. This Los Angeles version, served at the restaurant Sqirl, makes it a meal by adding shredded vegetables to the chickpea pancake and tops it with greens and creamy labneh. This recipe calls for carrots, winter squash (Sqirl generally uses kabocha) or zucchini - pick one and proceed. Add a fried egg on top to make it heartier, if you'd like.

Steps:
- Toss grated vegetable with big pinches of salt. Put it in a fine-mesh sieve and let drain, squeezing every so often so that the vegetable releases its water, for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine cumin, coriander and fennel seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the spices, shaking the pan often, until fragrant but not burned, about 3 minutes. Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, grind toasted spices to a powder.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add drained vegetable, along with garlic, oregano, mint, cilantro, chickpea flour and toasted spices. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper, and mix well. If you are using winter squash, stir in cinnamon and ginger. (The pancake batter can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge.)
- Melt butter in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Spoon in two 1/2 cupfuls of the pancake batter. Use the back of your spoon or a spatula to flatten each to 1/2-inch thick. Cook, rotating the skillet for even browning, until pancakes are nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Flip, then cook the second side for another few minutes. Transfer pancakes to a plate. Repeat to make 2 more pancakes, adding butter to the skillet if needed.
- Season labneh or yogurt with salt to taste. Just before serving, toss greens with lemon juice, oil and salt and pepper. Top each pancake with a dollop of labneh or yogurt and a tangle of greens.

Steps:
- Preheat a wood oven to 500 degrees F. (See Cook's Note.)
- Whisk the flour, oil, salt, cumin, paprika (if using) and 1 cup water in a medium mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
- For the herb dip: In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, mint, oil, lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon salt and blend until smooth. Adjust the thickness with additional oil and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt. Put in a small bowl for dipping.
- Five minutes before the batter is finished resting, put a 10-inch cast-iron pan in the oven to preheat.
- Remove the preheated cast-iron pan from the oven, then coat with a teaspoon oil and pour in the socca batter. Place back in the oven and cook until blistering and brown, with crispy edges and flexible but cooked through in the center, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the pan with a spatula to a cutting board. Sprinkle with black pepper and sea salt flakes. Rough cut into pieces and serve warm with the herb sauce and cold rose wine!

SOCCA (PROVENCAL SAVORY CHICKPEA PANCAKE) - GLUTEN-FREE
Soccas are a garbanzo flour pizza-like flatbread from the Southeastern France. It is naturally and traditionally gluten-free and easy to make. They can be served with any kind of topping... Try it with Kalamata Tapenade ("Recipe #156988"), ratatouille, or sauteed vegetables and herbs. The best one I've ever had was topped with carmelized onions, black olives and anchovies. Adapted from a recipe by Mark Bittman of the New York Times. Gluten-free - Dairy-free - Kosher: Pareve. This recipe makes 1 large socca pancake, the diameter of a 10" cast iron pan. When sliced into quarters, it should serve 2 people as a main dish or 4 people as an appetizer.

- In a mixing bowl whisk together the garbanzo bean flour, salt and pepper. Pour in the water and continue to whisk until the batter is smooth. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk to combine. Let sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes or up to several hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450 F.Heat a 12-inch heavy oven-proof frying pan (I prefer cast iron) and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil (I like to replace some of the olive oil with duck fat for the best flavor). Cook the onion until deeply caramelized, adding a small pinch of sugar to enhance the caramelization. Add the chopped rosemary and cook for another minute. Spread the onion mixture out evenly over the bottom of the pan.Pour the chickpea batter over the onion mixture. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the socca is firm, the edges are set, and it is golden in color. Next brush the socca with some additional olive oil and then place it under the broiler for another minute or two until well browned and just beginning to scorch in a few places.Cut into wedges and serve immediately while hot.
