Instructions
- For the soccas: In a medium, bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the salt, cumin and coriander. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan. Cook until the underside edges begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Using a heat-proof silicone spatula, flip the socca and continue to cook on the other side until golden, 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
- For the filling: In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans, celery, shallots, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the kale and wine. Stir until the kale wilts, about 3 minutes. Stir in the pine nuts and raisins.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, agave, lemon juice, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper until smooth.
- To assemble, spoon the filling into the center of each socca. Roll up the socca like a jelly roll to encase the filling. Spoon the topping on top and serve.
