Socca
- To make chickpea flour batter stir together the chickpea flour, turmeric, salt, garlic powder and water in a small bowl. Whisk together until blended completely making sure to eliminate all of the lumps. Cover with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 200 °C. Line a 25 cm cake pan with baking paper and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil.
- Put the cake pan with olive oil into the oven. Once the oil gets really hot, pour the chickpea flour mixture into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Purple sweet potato hummus
