Socca is a popular street food in Monaco (where I'm from), Nice and other areas along the south coast of France. It's a thin cake or pancake of chickpea flour, water, and olive oil cooked on a griddle. Monegasques buy a chunk of hot socca to eat with a cool glass of wine. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour shopping list
- 3 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 2-1/4 cups water shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- pepper shopping list
How to make it
- In a blender, mix until smooth the flour, 3 tablespoons olive oil, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Place a heavy griddle or 10- to 12-inch frying pan 4 to 6 inches over a solid bed of coals at medium-high heat (or on a range at medium-high heat). When pan is hot enough for a drop of water to dance, brush surface generously with oil. Pour enough batter to cover pan surface about 1/8 inch thick; use about 1 cup batter for a 10-inch round, 1-1/3 cups for a 12-inch round, 2 cups for a 16-inch round. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until bottom is lightly browned and top is dry to touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Slash pancake into random-shaped serving-size pieces (about 2 by 3 inches). Slide off griddle with a wide spatula and mound into a napkin or onto a plate to eat hot. Repeat to cook remaining batter.

I LOVE chickpeas, no matter what you do with them! This is definitely a keeper for me. When my children were small, I used to tell them that chickpeas were yellow olives. They loved olives, and at least that made it possible for them to try them.

If you have trouble with sticking, and your pan is seasoned, probably it was not hot enough when you added your batter. Wait until the pan is good and hot, oil brushed on should be glistening and running thin before batter is added.
