The One Where I Finally Make Socca

21 Mar

If you read the healthy food blogs, you’ve read about socca.  Socca is a bread made from chickpea/garbanzo flour. Click here for a tribute to socca page over on Pure2Raw.

For my first foray into socca making, I chose this recipe for a Socca Breakfast Pizza from Heather Eats Almond Butter.  I halved it, left out the basil, sausage and tahini and added some goat cheese.  It was fantastic.  Cooking it in a pre-heated cast iron skillet gave it such a yummy brown crust.

Lunch is served.

Who am I kidding?  I ate an additional piece of socca pizza after I finished off the first plate of food.

The kids both tried a bite and weren’t big fans.  They ended up having scrambled eggs + cheese in tortillas.

And made Hanibal Lector like masks out of tortillas.  Every child does this with their lunch, right?  At least she didn’t ask for some fava beans.

 

Are you a socca fan?  What socca recipe should I try next?

    Haha – laughing at the fava bean comment.

    So glad you enjoyed the recipe, and perhaps the kiddos will like it someday. Besides, I don’t think socca would hold up too well after cutting eye holes out of it. ;)

    Yay for making your first socca. It look great! We love it as you can tell, haha And socca can have a strong flavor for some so hopefully the kids will grow into the love of socca :) So many great things you can do with it, it take the basic recipe and flavor it any way you want! It is great for being creative in the kitchen with a simple idea! Have fun, xoxo

    Hahaha — too funny. Keep an eye on that one… ;) I love socca, and agree that it is at its best when made in a cast iron!

    I have yet to make socca. I’m way behind on the times. :) It sounds good though…is it more of a bread or pizza crust?

    I haven’t tried it, because I haven’t been able to find the flour yet! LOL @ the hannibal lector mask!

    We totally do that with our tortillas too! The kids get really creative and make three eye holes, and a crooked mouth, etc. :)

    I haven’t gotten around to making socca yet. I definitely need to give it a try. That mask is hilarious. :-)

    I still haven’t made socca. I’m not a real food blogger, I’m certain. ;)
