Socca is a popular street food that you’ll find in Nice, France. It’s a pancake or a flatbread made of chickpea flour, which is served as an appetizer during the whole day. The French prefer it with wine, but I think it could be a great choice for breakfast or light lunch…
Like any other traditional dish, these pancakes can be prepared with various products and each housewife has a secret recipe, but the mandatory ingredients are three – chickpea flour, water and olive oil. I added some onions and mushrooms, ending up with something like an omelet, which turned out very tasty.
