Socca Pizza
I recently picked up Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook It’s All Easy Cookbook. It truly is easy and delicious. Click on Goop for a link to her blog.
Socca pizza is a simple chickpea pancake that literally takes minutes to make. It’s tasty, gluten-free, and has only 3 ingredients. I topped it with raw summer veggies and had a fresh, flavorful dinner in 10 minutes. Gotta’ love that!

Short Cut: Make ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Reheat in oven or microwave.
Think Out of the Ice Box: Add a little sriracha on top to give it a kick.
