Let’s start with Socca. The debate around its origin between France and Italy is ongoing, but one thing is for sure: this simple street food made with chickpea flour, olive oil, water, and salt is the crispy, rich snack you’ve been dreaming of.
Here’s how you can enjoy this unique meal: take your piping hot freshly baked socca out of the cast iron skillet, break it into crispy, chewy pieces, dip it into a tangy dollop of herby whipped feta, and crown it with a spoonful of juicy, vinegary tomato and cucumber salad for a satisfying crunch.
This meal-that’s-more-than-a-meal has captured my heart and taste buds, perfect for summer indulgence.

Feel free to add chickpeas or roasted chicken for an extra twist.
And if you can’t resist indulging in spoonfuls of whipped feta straight from the food processor, go for it.
Make those golden crunchy edges of socca a part of your everyday routine – you won’t regret it.
This versatile meal is perfect for sharing and customizing to individual preferences. We recently served it to Bjork’s parents on the deck, and it was a hit all around (especially the socca).
If you’re hesitant to turn on the oven in the summer heat, trust me, the effort is worth it. Plus, in my opinion, an oven in the AC beats grilling outside any day.
So go ahead, whip that feta, load up your socca, and make this unique dish your own!
Common Questions About Socca
The size of your cast iron greatly impacts the end product and how thick / thin / crispy it will be. Those crispy, thin edges are EVERYTHING. That’s why I prefer to split it into two batches when working with my 10-inch cast iron skillet.
I have only used my cast iron for this. I think it could work with another oven-safe skillet but I have not tried it. Let us know in the comments if you try it!
Most grocery stores will carry chickpea flour – often by the “Natural Foods” section or something similar. If you can’t find it at your local store, you can but it here (affiliate link).
