Socca




This is not traditionaly fermented but it can be


This is much better than using grain flour because chick peas are lower in carbohydrates.
  • Water 2.5 cups
  • Chickpea flour 2 cups
  • Salt to help keep out the bad bacteria.
Ferment at room temp until it bubbles.???
Fry like pancakes. The fermentation will help the batter puff-up like baking soda.

This can be cooked with grated squash and eggs (or more liquid), if you want vegetables in it.

Top with: (Or add to batter)
  • Tahini, Lemon-Lime, Garlic! (Tahini sauce)
  • Fresh diced Parsley.
  • Cumin and Mint with Yogurt? Or coconut milk.
  • Mint, Onion, Yogurt?
  • Strong flavored Cheese?
  • Cinnamon and Ginger?

The art of Winter Squash

https://www.justataste.com/5-ingredient-butternut-squash-fritters-recipe/

I think there maybe a million things to do with winter squash, but it is not easy to think of what.

Cook the squash...scoop it out of the skin when it is cool enough. Or just grate it.

High quality salt tastes so much better than cheap table salt.
  • Umiboshi vinegar brine
  • Shoyu soy sauce
  • Miso!

Herbs really make the difference
  • Basil
  • Celery seed
  • Sage!
  • Chives
  • Garlic (do not use dry garlic! Ever!)
  • Lime

Fat is needed to balance the sweetness of the squash.
  • Olive oil
  • Cheese sharp (don't waste your money on bland cheese!)
  • Butter!

Binders
  • Eggs makes it all stick together.
  • Bread crumbs?
  • Gluten or whole wheat flour.
  • Coconut flour will absorb all the extra moisture.
Nuts are too good, add copious quantities.
  • Walnuts
  • Pecans
  • whole grain summer wheat berries large

other vegys saute'd
  • Leeks are the best
  • Green Onions
  • Mushrooms saute' with vinegar


Fry like fish cakes: Fritters!
Serve with beans; like white beans.
