This Nice-style socca topped with crunchy vegetables and our Jean Martin Hummus is a fresh and colorful vegetarian appetizer, perfect for summer.
Preparation
- Prepare the socca by mixing 50cl of water, olive oil, 1 tbsp of Hummus, and pepper, then gradually incorporate the flour until a batter is formed.
- Cook the socca in a frying pan and set aside.
- Bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt and add the green asparagus and peas. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain and plunge the vegetables into cold water to preserve their crunch. Use a mandoline to make zucchini ribbons.
- Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper. Slice the radishes.
- Spread Hummus over the socca and arrange all the vegetables attractively on top.
- Garnish with a few edible flowers and mint leaves. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Our tip
Plunging into ice water after cooking (the "thermal shock") is essential for asparagus and peas: it locks in their vibrant color and preserves their crunch.
Variation
Vary the vegetables according to the season: fava beans in spring, carrots in winter.
Pairings & suggestions
