This crispy-thin delicious chickpea flour tart, called " socca " in Provencal

dialect, is served hot as a snack is common in Nice, France and on both the

French and Italian Rivieras. Chickpea flour is available at most Indian

with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Mix chickpea flour, 6 tablespoons oil,

water, and salt and peppel taste in a bowl. Stir well to create a batter and let

stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

 

2. Prepare the Roasted Pepper Topping: Preheat the oven 400F. Chop together the

herbs, garlic, and salt until mixture is chunky. Mix with the olive oil and

black pepper in a large bowl. Add the quartered pepper and toss. Spread the

peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or

until peppers are well-browned at the edges. Cool.

 

3. Preheat the broiler. Pour a thin layer (about 1/8 inch) of reserved tart

batter into the prepared pizza pan. Place the under the broiler, as close to the

heat source as possible. Broil 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle

with remaining tablespoon olive oil. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes Ionger or until

the tart is crispy and golden. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Slide

onto a serving platter and cut into 2-inch squares. Top each square with a few

of the roasted peppers and sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese. Serve

immediately.
