Socca pancakes with hummus & lemony onions

Ingredients


  • 75g gram (chickpea) flour
  • 2 tsp rapeseed or olive oil

For the topping

  • 1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 4 tbsp hummus
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 3 small coriander sprigs
  • 2 handfuls mixed salad leaves

Description

  1. Mix the flour with 180ml water until fully combined. If you have time, leave to stand for 30 mins. Meanwhile, toss the onion with the lemon juice in a separate bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a low heat and pour in half the batter. Swirl the pan to coat the base evenly and cook for about 6 mins until firm and you can lift the edge of the pancake off the pan. Using a spatula or palette knife, turn the pancake over and cook for 4-6 mins on the other side, until cooked through and crisp at the edge. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the second pancake in the same way.
  3. Spread hummus down the middle of each pancake, then top with the tomatoes, quick-pickled onions, coriander and salad leaves. Fold in half to serve.
