I recently went on a (travel-hacked) vacation to southern France. The local specialty was a chickpea crepe called socca. We bought some at the highest-rated local place, then bought the ingredients and learned to replicate it in our (airbnb) kitchen. Now that I'm home, I found a bag of chickpea flour at the grocery store (in the Indian food section) and am eating a lot of it. It is tasty, filling, healthful, and about 75 cents for a large serving.
Socca Recipe, one large serving:
125 grams chickpea flour
1 cup water, mixed into the flour a bit at a time to avoid lumps
3 soup spoons olive oil
about 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix in container with spout until smooth.
Heat non-stick or seasoned pan. Add a little olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, pour enough batter in the pan to make a thin pancake. Let it cook on one side until browned. The stuff we got at the restaurant was almost blackened on one side. The other side stays soft and the texture is a bit eggy. Repeat for rest of batter.
That's it. Traditionally it is cooked in a hot oven, but this is pretty close. Enjoy
