Day 2: My New Roots Challenge – Review of Socca with Asparagus, Dill and Feta

I am really enjoying this challenge so far, the food has been fantastic and so has the recipes, I’m learning how to make so many new things! I love it 🙂 I just discovered today what Socca is, which is made out of chickpea flour – very similar to the chickpea pancakes I made for the Oh She Glows Challenge!  This recipe is from the cookbook as well, page 61.

This meal was a bit of work to get together, you have to prep and let the socca batter sit, grill the asparagus, and caramelize the onions.   The instructions were well laid out and I appreciated how Sarah separated them into steps so the meal came together at the same time.  It still takes a lot of work though!  The nice thing about this meal is it makes a lot of cooked vegetables, and they keep for several days.  I was also shocked by how filling the socca was! I was going to put some feta on top but it didn’t need it, it was so flavourful with the the caramelized onions and tangy balsamic, and it was incredibly filling.

I did a nutritional analysis (See here for full nutritional content). In total, one portion is 326 calories, with 64% fat, 23.6% carbohydrates and 12.5% protein.  Some really clean ingredients in here, and swarming with veggies! The cost was pretty reasonable, and chickpea flour is very inexpensive (especially at ethnic grocery stores).

I think that is all to report with this one! Would I make any changes next time? Nope! I loved it, however be prepared for a bit more work to get together.   You can see my full review below, I gave it a solid 33.5/40.  Let me know what you think of this one lovelies?
