Today on belly we are storming the Bastille and then heading to the bush for an indigenous feast. Fortified with a large helping of socca, a favourite recipe from La Table.
‘Socca’ – Traditional pancake from Nice, France. And it’s gluten free!
230g Chickpea Flour
450ml Water
1 ½ tblsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
12g Salt
2 Egg Yolk
2 Egg White
Pepper
Put all ingredients, except not the egg whites, in jug & blend until smooth. Transfer batter into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks
Gently fold into batter mix.
Pre-heat a non-stick frying pan, add olive oil & then pour in some batter to desired size of pancake. When small bubbles appear on top the pancake is ready to turn over. Pancake is ready when you can touch the centre & it lightly springs up.
Pre-heat oven to 100
Add caramelised onions (spread out) with goats cheese on top of pancake. Place in oven for a few minutes to warm cheese & onions.
Serve with fresh green salad leaves with a lemon & olive oil dressing.
