Hey everyone,
Well Lori and I decided we wanted to do something fun for Sundays!
And we came up with….
SOCCA SUNDAYS!
You all know that we love our socca….and we have seen a few of you love it too.
Reasons why we love Socca:
- good source of fiber
- protein
- few ingredients
- easy to make
- taste GREAT
Today’s Socca Sunday we decided to use some of the ingredients we got yesterday at the market.
Take a look at our farmers market goodies:
Today’s recipe features:
Greens!! Arugula, sunflower sprouts, and thai basil
I was so excited to see a local farmer with sunflower sprouts! They are my favorite!
Ever heard of lemon cucumber?
I sure was intrigued, so I got a few yesterday at the market! I love lemon. I love cucumber. So together – YUM! I love it! Although they did not have a strong lemon taste, still mostly tasted like a cucumber to me.
Pure2raw Recipe: Lemon Cucumber Thai Basil Socca
Here is what we did:
- Heat oven to 400.
- Place 1 cup garbanzo bean flour in bowl. *Note: some of you asked if we make our own flour and no we do not. We buy it at our local health food store. One day maybe we will make our own, just do not have time now.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups water with a good pinch of sea salt and whisk together.
- Warm 2 tbsp coconut oil (or your favorite oil) in 10 in circle pan. (Pizza pans work great or cast iron skillets).
- Add 2 lemon cucumbers, skinned and chopped with a handful of thai basil
- Stir together and pour into hot oil in the pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Instead of flipping the socca, we just broiled it for 2 minutes.
YUM!!!!
Dinner tonight – socca and salad.
*note salad is not dressed, at the moment, I am taking this picture a little early. I plan to eat salad and socca a little later, but my dressing will be tahini and lemon!
If you would like to participate in Socca Sundays, please share your pictures with us, and we will post them on our blog. We look forward in seeing what flavors/combos you all come up with!! Lori and I have some ideas in our heads, which we cannot wait to share!
And stay tuned tomorrow, we have a Twin Cakes Bakery sale! Also, today was our last day of our 60 day Insanity Challenge! We will talk more about that tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Till next time,
Michelle

My hubby wants to try that one. Soccas really hit the spot!
Bitt- we just love socca, and with veggies inside makes it even better.
I’ve gotta make some SOCCA!!!
YUM!! Enjoy your eats..and that watermelon..nom nom nom!
Lauren, oh yes we already finished off the watermelon we got yesterday at the market. YUM!
I have never had socca, but it looks so good! That and your salad look like a fabulous meal. With your chocolate cream cake for dessert
Oh yes Sheri there is dessert! Always ; )
I have never made socca but yours looks awesome! and i love the lemon cuke..how fun. Have never seen anything like that before!
thanks for all the sweet blog commemnts you just left me..yes, my motto is Ill sleep when I’m dead..way too busy for that right now
Too much life to be living to bother with sleep 
xoxo
Love you motto Averie! Words to live by ; )
I’ve never seen a lemon cucumber before! That thing is adorable. And I absolutely adore Thai basil – when I took a cooking class last summer in Thailand I picked it fresh off a plant to incorporate, holy cow. As for Socca Sundays, I’m basically obsessed with socca right now (thanks to you two, obviously), so I am *so in* for this one. I’ve been having so much fun changing up the flavor profiles of it!
Ilana, Thai basil is great! Amazing how much flavor is in it ; ) Yay for socca!!
I’d love to try making socca. It sounds so yummy. You ladies are always coming up with such great meals.
Thanks Julie Lynn!! I think your family will love socca.
Socca Sundays sounds like a MARVELOUS idea! I really want to try this recipe, ever since I saw the pics of socca for the first time from the france, etc., trip.
Serena once you make socca, you will want it all the time ; )
Okay, how cool is it that I have thai basil and lemon cucmbers growing in my garden right now? I can’t make this just yet, but it is bookmarked for future reference (like when the cukes get out of hand).
Katie, you amaze me everyday…you are growing your own basil and cucumbers!!! Love it…it will taste so good coming right from your own garden.
This sounds so interesting. I’ve never used garbanzo bean flour before. I would love to try making it. It sounds easy enough!
Nope, I’ve never heard of a lemon cucumber. Maybe it’s called that because it is shaped kind of like a lemon and not due to taste? I also love those two flavours…I have lemon water every day and sometimes I add cucumber to the mix. Very refreshing.
Very true Lauren. We love both lemon and cucumbers too!
*I meant I would love to try making socca, not garbanzo bean flour. Just to clarify haha
I just stumbled upon your website tonight and I am immediately impressed by you introducing me to a vegetable I’ve never heard of! A lemon cucumber?! Nice.
Glad you found us Christina. We are always trying new things here ; )
I LOVE lemon cucumber! We’re actually growing some in our garden this year! Aren’t they good?!
I loooove love socca! Yours sounds absolutely wonderful! Basil is awesome with anything, right?! I think you two have perfected socca-making!
Lori, both you and Katie are growing lemon cucumbers, how cool!!! So jealous, I love them. I think Basil could be my favorite herb right now ; )
I really have to try Soca, and I have gram flour in my cupboard waiting to be used
Sarah, socca is so easy to make. I think you will like it. Our tummies tend to do well with it….as long as we do not over eat, haha. : )
I love lemon cucumbers! That socca looks awesome, I’ll have to try it:)
Thanks Rachael! You will love socca.
I’m still fascinated by this socca stuff. Haven’t tried it yet, but I need to!
OH YUM!!!!!!!

Count me in for socca Sunday’s too! You both have me hooked on them
It’s always so much fun to see how creative you are.
