½ c chickpea flour

6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Kosher salt

3 garlic cloves, divided

1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained

1 Tbsp za’atar (or curry powder, chile powder, or frankly any other combination of mild dried ground spices)

1 small bunch Tuscan kale, stemmed, leaves torn

1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced crosswise

¼ c tahini

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Select allAdd

1. Whisk chickpea flour, 1 Tbsp oil, a pinch of salt, and ½ c water in a medium bowl. Let socca batter sit at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour to let flour hydrate.

2. Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp oil and 2 garlic cloves in a medium nonstick skillet over medium, tossing occasionally, until garlic is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until chickpeas are lightly browned, 6–8 minutes. Add za’atar and toss several times to coat chickpeas; season with salt. Add kale and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until kale wilts, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, add fennel, and toss to combine. Reserve skillet.

3. Finely grate remaining garlic clove into a small bowl.

   Whisk in tahini, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp oil, and 2 Tbsp water until thick and smooth. Season with salt.

4. Heat 1½ tsp oil in reserved skillet over medium-high.

   Add half of reserved socca batter to center of skillet and tilt skillet so that it spreads out to a thin 6"-7" pancake. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned and crisp underneath, 2–3 minutes (crank up the heat to high if needed to get crunchy edges and nice browning). Turn and cook just until lightly browned on second side, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1½ tsp oil and batter.

5. Top each socca with chickpea salad. Drizzle with tahini sauce.
