Socca (or farinata as the Italians call it) is originally from France and made with gram or chickpea flour and filled with all the lovely late summer vegetables.
It is free from dairy, gluten, is vegan and is full of protein and ultimate goodness. It is also very easy to make and great at any time of the day. It's great for a brunch, a supper with some steamed greens or an alfresco lunch with a zesty cucumber or spicy tomato salsa and a fresh green salad.
This recipe is with leek and courgette but any veg can go in. It is wonderful with roasted vegetables, broccoli, peas, tomatoes (as in the pictures) - or just very simply with lots of fresh herbs.
Other spices and flavourings also work: Mediterranean herbs, smoked paprika, garam masala and so on. Enjoy creating your own version!
