Chickpea Pancake
with Mojo Rojo & Pepitas
Savory, crispy flatbreads made from chickpea flour are a common snack cherished across the globe. In the Mediterranean, they are called farinata, socca, cade, or torta di ceci; in South America, they are referred to as fainá. They are enjoyed plain on-the-go, or can be layered with toppings and eaten like pizza. We topped this breakfast socca with a smoky, robust red sauce, creamy avocado, juicy Valencia orange, and crispy pepitas.
