Socca is a Mediterranean pancake traditionally made with gram flour, water and olive oil. Gram flour is packed full of good protein and contains a high level of folate which provides vitamin B6, iron, magnesium and potassium.

Method


  1. Whisk together all of the dry ingredients with 185ml/6¼fl oz water in a bowl.

  2. Heat the oil in a 20-25cm/8-10in non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook over a low heat for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Add the sundried tomatoes and fry for 2 minutes.

  3. Turn the heat up a little and use a ladle to pour the socca batter into the pan. Cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until golden and slightly crisp. You should be able to lift the edges of the pancake away from the pan and easily lift and flip the pancake without it breaking.

  4. Transfer the pancake to a plate and scatter with the avocado, roasted peppers and coriander. Season with pepper and serve immediately.
