1/2 teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoonsolive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoonground cumin
1/2 teaspoonground coriander
1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 2 tablespoons of juice)
1/4 cupfresh herbs such as parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, or tarragon
Directions:
In a medium bowl, add the chickpea flour, water, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk to combine until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours at room temperature.
While the batter is resting, add the red onion and ¼ teaspoon salt to a bowl and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, add the yogurt, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, cumin, coriander, lemon zest, and juice, and stir to combine. Set aside.
Heat the oven to 450˚F. When the oven is heated, set a cast-iron or stainless-steel pan to the center and heat for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl around the pan.
Set the oven to broil.
Pour the batter into the pan, swirling until it covers the entire bottom. Place the pan in the center of the middle rack. Broil until the edges are lightly crispy and top is golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler.
Let the socca cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and top with the yogurt, red onions, and herbs. Serve immediately.
