Socca is a chickpea pancake or crepe served in France and Italy (where it is called “farinata”). The base of a socca is chickpea flour, which is high in protein and fiber (higher than white flour for equal servings) and is an excellent source of vitamin B-6, magnesium, and iron.
1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
8 anchovies
½ cup curly green kale, chopped
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup chunks of feta (optional)
