Tasty Homemade Baked socca !!

Here is a typical Mediterranean recipe from Nice, a kind of large pancake with chickpea flour. baked and golden, preferably in a wood-fired oven
Socca is eaten hot, if possible on the spot right out of the oven, possibly seasoned with pepper. Its taste characteristics come from a double sensation born of its cooking method: both crisp and crunchy (on its seared surface above) and very soft below. Once cooled, it solidifies and, by its somewhat oily nature, quickly loses its taste qualities. Socca is one of the popular traditional local culinary specialties and typical of the gastronomy of Nice.why it is appreciated by what in the past it was called the « poor man’s dish ».

Yum !
