    Recipe Introduction


    original recipe by Paul Franson in Beyond Salads, Felafel or Hummus

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup garbanzo flour
    1 1/2-cup water
    3 tablespoons olive oil plus one tablespoon for the pan
    1/2-teaspoon salt
    freshly ground pepper
    Garlic or herbs, optional

    Recipe



    This is a baked variation of socca. It is thicker, incorporates olive
    oil for taste and moistness, and can include herbs or other
    ingredients such as thyme, rosemary or sage. It's great with a
    tablespoon of minced garlic mixed with the batter.

    Oil heavy cast-iron skillet or other metal casserole dish. Don't use
    glass or ceramic. Place in over preheated to 400 degrees until the oil
    is very hot.

    Mix other ingredients thoroughly to create a thick batter. Pour into
    hot pan. It should be � to � inch thick. Immediately return to hot
    oven. Cook until golden, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

    Drizzle with olive oil, cut into wedges and serve immediately as a
    snack or appetizer.

    Alternately, cut into small squares and fry or grill to make tasty
    croutons for soups or salads.

    In either this recipe or socca, corn or other gf flour can be used in
    place of part of the garbanzo flour for a complete protein source and
    different taste. Corn is especially delicious if it is tolerate in the
    diet.

    Serves four to six.
