I probably don't make Socca the "right way" but what I have been making is simple, gluten free and delicious. Works for me. Garbanzo bean flour, water, oil and seasonings. Couldn't be easier. Two of my favorite versions can be found from David Lebovitz and "Affairs of Living". I won't say that my version is anywhere close to traditional. The one we had today included lemon juice and black pepper and was a dipper for a taco dip. Unusual but tasty! Recipes call for cooking under a broiler but I have also been known to use a very hot pan on the stovetop. I look forward to trying more recipes with this bean flour. I like the flavor and texture.
I haven't found garbanzo bean flour locally. There is a garbanzo/fava bean mix but I didn't like the flavor. However, I get garbanzo flour and lots of other good stuff at Vita Cost. They have free shipping until the end of the month (on orders over $49) and otherwise shipping is only $4.99. Good deal since I will need more bean flour soon. It has passed the ultimate test. Even my husband likes this stuff!
