Socca Pizza with Roasted Veggies
Socca or "Farinata" is a chickpea based flatbread. It's great for gluten-free pizza.
Ingredients:
¾ cup chickpea flour |
¾ cup hot water (hot tap water, around 120ºF) |
½ tsp. salt |
½ tsp. black pepper |
½ tsp. oregano, rosemary, or basil |
1 tsp. minced garlic |
3 tbsp. olive oil, separated |
Roasted veggie toppings:1 cup of your favorite veggies chopped (bell peppers,mushrooms, roma tomatoes, zucchini, artichokes, fennel, or onions) |
1/2 cup of fresh spinach |
1 tbsp. of minced parsley |
Instructions:
1 | Set oven to 450 degrees |
2 | Toss your veggies into a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and lightly coat |
3 | Place cut veggies into a roasting dish and roast in oven for 20 minutes, until soft and lightly brown or crispy on the edges. |
4 | Remove veggies and set aside. |
5 | Place an oven safe round or deep square dish in the oven to heat (cast iron will work as well). |
6 | In the mean time prepare your Socca crust. |
7 | Whisk together chickpea flour, hot water, salt, pepper, oregano and garlic in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, whisk to incorporate. Set aside |
8 | Once dish inside oven is hot, use an oven mitt to remove it and place it onto a heat-proof surface. |
9 | Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into your oven heated baking dish and swirl to coat. |
10 | Stir the batter once more and pour into the oven dish. It will sizzle a little so be careful. Tilt the pan (use your oven mitt) to fully coat the batter. |
11 | Place all toppings except parsley, and spinach. |
12 | Bake 12 minutes until the edges are crisp and brown and the vegetables are a softer and a little browner (not burned) |
13 | Remove from oven and immediately place parsley, and spinach on top with fresh ground pepper. |
Cook's Tips:
This dish is very filling. One slice (6 ounces) is recommended per serving.
Those that decide to add cheese, try a low-fat shredded mozzarella or goat cheese (2-4 tbsp.) The cheese should melt from the heat if placed on top of the veggies and crust right after removal from the oven. If you want a heavier melt, then place back into oven at broil for 2-5 minutes until the cheese is the consistency you want.
