In a small bowl, stir together the pesto and red chili paste, using half stir into the Quorn Meatless Diced ChiQin Pieces, retaining the remainder to spread onto the Soccas when cooked.

Brush a large non-stick frying pan with oil. Heat frying pan over a medium high heat add a quarter of the batter, using a ladle spreading the mixture until it covers most of the surface. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the Socca is golden brown. Carefully turn and cook the other side, until golden brown. Place the Soccas onto greaseproof paper on a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Cover with foil and bake for 15 mins or until piping hot, remove the foil for the last couple of minutes of cooking. Sprinkle over the fresh thyme and basil leaves and season to taste.
