Socca is a type of flatbread made primarily from chickpea flour, water, olive oil, and salt. Originating from the region of Nice in France, it is traditionally cooked in a large, round pan in a wood-fired oven. Socca is known for its crispy exterior and soft, slightly chewy interior, making it a popular street food and snack.
Often enjoyed as a savory treat, socca can be served plain or topped with various ingredients like herbs, spices, or even cheese. It is commonly paired with a glass of rosé wine and is a staple in the culinary culture of the French Riviera.
