Socca recipe: chickpeas savory pancakes topped with eggplants and tomatoes.
Socca is a savory pancake made with chickpea flour; it is a classic street-food snack in Nice. You can eat it plain or savor it with cheese or cold meats.
It is also quite similar to Italian farinata di ceci (check the Yellow Issue for the recipe and more winter delights), another testimony to the proximity and shared past with our French cousins.
But it is a little easier to make, and it is the perfect meal for a lazy Meat Free Monday, when resolutions are high but energy is low.
This is only a fragment. The full piece lives inside Accademia Sub Rosa.
A quieter space.
A deeper Italy.
A slower way of seeing
Not for everyone.
