Socca a traditional street food of Nice , is a specialty of southeastern French cuisine. It’s primary ingredients are chickpea flour /Besan and olive oil . After being formed into a flat cake and baked in an oven, often on a cast iron pan more than a meter in diameter, the socca is seasoned generously with pepper and eaten while hot with the fingers. Like our Besan Chilla it’s flavor is quite different because of the addition of herbs and olive oil. So let’s start the recipe . Yum

socca is a nice term…lovely recipe
I saw Giada de Laurentiis do this but in Italy they eat it as an outer covering for stuffing – just like Indian dosa. Did not know they eat it in France also. In fact, I made the Italian version. It is in my drafts to be posted later.
Love this series to see all the wonderful new dishes! So much similarities between all the cuisines!
