Ingredients
  • 500 grams chickpea flour
  • 500 grams all-purpose flour
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 100 milliliters heavy cream

  • 10 grams salt
  • 10 grams baking powder

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 lemon juices
  • 5 grams turmeric

Directions
  1. For the Socca: In a Thermomix or food processor, combine chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, heavy cream, salt, baking powder, milk, and eggs. Pass the mixture through a sieve and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. Cook small pancakes in lightly oiled blinis pans until golden brown. Set aside. Just before serving, crisp the soccas on a griddle.
  2. For the Turmeric Hummus: In a blender, combine cooked chickpeas, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Gradually add olive oil until smooth and creamy. Pass the hummus through a sieve and transfer it into a piping bag.
