A savoury pancake made from chickpea flour, stuffed with mushrooms and fresh herbs. Classic French socca meets breakfast.
Chickpea flour is very filling due to the fibre and protein. Cut into quarters and eat slowly — you may not finish it all.
Serves 1 · 5 min prep · 10 min cook
Whisk together 60g chickpea flour (gram flour/besan), 120ml water, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/4 tsp turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth.
~2 min
Let batter rest for 5 minutes while you slice 50g mushrooms.
~5 min
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook mushrooms for 3 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
Fill with any vegetables you like — spinach, peppers, tomatoes all work. Add black beans alongside mushrooms for even more protein.
~3 min
Add another 1/2 tsp oil to the pan. Pour in the batter, tilting to spread evenly. Cook for 3 minutes until edges lift.
~3 min
Place mushrooms on one half, fold over, and cook 1 more minute.
~1 min
Slide onto a plate. Top with fresh herbs if you have them.
Chickpea flour is available in most supermarkets in the world foods aisle (sometimes labelled gram flour or besan). The batter should be the consistency of thin pancake batter.
