“Socca is a traditional dish from Nice, France, and as with many traditional dishes, there are a dozen different ways you can make it.However you make it, the recipe itself is nearly universal. It is equal parts chickpea flour and water, mixed with a tablespoon or so of olive oil and a pinch of salt. You can use more water to make a thinner crêpe-like socca or less water to make it thicker. You can also add minced herbs or a few pinches of spices to the batter for some extra pizzazz.”

Different from region to region, restaurants to street food vendors to home-style versions. But there are two key ingredients that make this authentic Thai – lemongrass and fish sauce. Omit either of these, and you can’t call it ‘real’!”
