This Chickpea Flatbread is my take on a classic French bread called Socca originating in Nice France. It is kind of like a thick broiled gluten-free pancake and lends well to all sorts of fresh or ground herbs and spices. The chickpea flour adds a punch of protein and fiber. Dress it up with fresh garlic, chives, tomatoes, lemon, olives, or rosemary. Or my personal favorite, pictured here, with ground sumac and fresh parsley.
This Chickpea Flatbread makes a perfect companion for soup or salad such as this Mushroom Quinoa Soup.
