I've always wanted to try socca, thanks to David Lebovitz's blog. |

So I just checked out Duguid's Burma from the library. Apparently the Burmese use Chickpea flour a lot. For example, they boil it with water and a little turmeric, let it cool until firm, then cut it into squares and call it "Shan Tofu". They also make a soup with chickpea flour and noodles. LMK if you want any of these before I return the book. |

I read that as "sham tofu", and wondered why anyone would bother to make fake tofu for any reason. Although if you are allergic to soy..... |

Dori has a recipe for socca in "Around My French Table." |

Josh, I just got that book for my daughter and planned to copy some recipes when I visit her in NYC next month. I also have "Around My French Table", so will have a look. That flour is still sitting there. It has a bit of an odd, yet familiar, taste that I couldn't place at first and then had a memory flash. When I was about 7 or 8, my parents bought us a game called "Don't Spill the Beans" (it wasn't Christmas or anything, which was very out of character). It was a balancing game that came with a plastic bean pot and real dried beans. I don't know how often we played the game, but we were fascinated with those beans and at one time soaked them in water and tried to eat them. Mary Mary |

I've fried a variety of things in chickpea flour. The classic is okra, but I've done a bunch of other kinda random things (my brain is at a loss right now). Mostly it has turned out well. It needs to be something not too subtle. |

Mary, Ottolenghi has a recipe for soccas on the internet from his book "Plenty". I love the tomatoes he serves atop them. fitzie |

Becky, It's "Shan". The Shan are one of the various ethnic groups of Burma, and apparently they like chickpeas; most of the recipes with chickpeas in them are "Shan this" or "Shan that". |

Mary, I didn't use his socca recipe, just the tomatoes and onions. I used my favourite socca recipe from an old Bon Appetit. It has cumin in it and I really love it. I'll post it if you want it. fitzie |
