Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups spinach Washed
1 tomato Washed, Chopped
1 cucumber medium, Washed, Chopped
1/2 red onion Cut into Slivers
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

1

Whisk together the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl. Let rest for 1/2 hour to 2 hours to give the flour time to absorb the water.
2

Set an oven rack six inches below your oven's broiler and turn on the broiler. Set a cast iron skillet or other baking dish on the rack to warm for five minutes.
3

Remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add a teaspoon or so of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Whisk the chickpea batter quickly and then pour half into the hot skillet (or all if making a thicker pancake). Tilt the pan so the batter coats the entire surface of the pan.
4

Cook the socca on the stove over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the skillet back in the oven and broil it for 3 to 5 minutes, until you see the top of the socca begin to blister and brown. The socca should be fairly flexible in the middle but crispy on the edges.
5

Use a spatula to work your way under the socca and ease it from the pan. Move the socca on to a serving dish.
6

In a salad bowl, mixx together the other ingredients. Top with a dressing of your choice. Place on top of the socca. Enjoy!
