Ingredients

Socca
  • 120 g (1 cup) besan (chickpea) flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, for pan-frying
  • 140 g (¾ cup) fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 cup thinly sliced kale leaves
  • 2 tbsp thinly sliced coriander leaves
  • 2 tbsp thinly sliced mint leaves
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Yoghurt tahini dressing
  • 125 g (½ cup) plain Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
To garnish 
  • coriander and mint sprigs 
  • cooked peas

Instructions

1. For the socca, place the besan flour, salt and cumin in a bowl and stir to combine. Create a well in the centre then add the oil and 250 ml (1 cup) water and whisk to make a smooth batter. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When hot, pour one third of the batter into the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side or until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 3 socca.

3. For the yoghurt tahini dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl.

4. To serve, top each socca with dressing and garnish with the extra herbs and peas.
