Meatless Mondays with Martha Stewart - Homemade Socca

It’s Meatless Mondays once again!
This week I cooked up something really special and unique for good ol’ Martha – a southern French indulgence called socca. I can’t quite believe that I have never cooked, tasted, or even heard of this incredible food before, which is essentially a chickpea-flour pancake. It is a hearty, nutritious, and filling snack, that can easily be turned into a meal by tossing on whatever toppings you have laying around. I used some sliced avocados, kalamata olives, and spring greens, along with a generous drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. The purists would surely take offense to my liberal use of garnishes, but you know what? I’m just crazy like that.

There are a few reasons why I am so stoked about socca, the first being that it is probably one of the easiest things to prepare, ever (not to mention impressive). It is also naturally gluten-free, vegan, high in healthy carbohydrates and protein. And I am even more excited by the versatility of socca, as this could surely replace nutritionally-void pizza crust, sandwich bread, crackers, pitas and the like. How amazing is that? I am so totally sold on socca. Oh, and did I mention how delicious it is? It’s like crack!

Ahem.
