Why cooks start here
Chickpea Flatbread (Socca) belongs at a Mediterranean table — olive oil on hand, lemon nearby, and the easy generosity of Niçoise street ovens. This is the home version, written for everyday cooking that still tastes like the sea and the garden.
Chickpea Flatbread, or Socca, is a cherished staple in the Mediterranean, especially around Nice, where street vendors serve it hot from wood-fired ovens. This home adaptation brings the spirit of those bustling markets to your kitchen, perfect for any day you want a taste of the sea and the garden. A simple blend of chickpea flour and water transforms into a golden, aromatic delight, reminiscent of sun-drenched afternoons by the coast. The flavor is nutty and savory, with a hint of rosemary and the richness of extra virgin olive oil. The texture is both crisp and tender, offering a satisfying bite that complements its subtle earthiness. A sprinkle of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon elevate the dish, inviting you to savor it as a snack or a light meal, embodying the essence of Mediterranean simplicity.
