Recipe

Step 1:

Set a rack in the top-third of the oven and place a 10-inch cast iron skillet on the rack. Preheat the oven to 450F.

Step 2:

Prepare the socca batter. Mix chickpea flour, salt, and cumin until combined. Slowly pour in water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cover batter and let sit for at least 30 minutes up to 12 hours - this helps develop the flavor.

Step 3:

Meanwhile, make the salad. Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Set aside.

Step 4:

Make the garlic skyr by whisking skyr with garlic and seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 5:

To bake the socca, switch the oven to broiler. Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven and swirl in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the batter, then immediately place back in the oven and broil for 4 to 6 minutes until blistered all over the top and browned on the bottom.

Step 6:

Remove socca from the oven, let cool slightly until warm but not hot. Serve with salad and garlic skyr.
