Socca Tips

What is socca?

Similar to a crepe, socca is a traditional French street food. It’s made from simple ingredients—primarily chickpea flour—and is often served with olive oil, salt and seasonings. Psst! Check out these other chickpea recipes, too

What’s best to serve with socca?

In France, socca is served as a snack, so go ahead and enjoy your flatbread with a refreshing cocktail or glass of wine. For a heartier dish, dress up your socca with an assortment of toppings. Try fresh herbs, olives, roasted veggies, cheese or thin slices of lamb.

Can I make my own chickpea flour?

Yes! To make, add dried chickpeas to a food processor. Cover and process until they’re powdery, 2-3 minutes. Sift the powder through a fine sieve and into a bowl, then add the larger pieces left in the sieve to a coffee or spice grinder and process until powdery.
