Chef Frank makes Socca (chickpea pancake)

I fell in love with socca in the south of France in Nice. We had it fresh from the oven in the farmers market as a salty snack. Give it a try its easy & delicious.

I remember eating this on my trip to Nice! It's way easier than I was expecting. Thanks, Chef Frank, for the great demo!

This actually seems like a really good idea for my brother who is a) not much of a cook and b) gluten intolerant. He's also a fan of falafel, and this seems like it has a similar energy. Thanks for passing on the inspiration :)

Happy to find your channel. Love your cooking lessons!

[brixhaven]

Chef Frank! Any chance you'll drop a video on the delicious chicken vindaloo? I try to recreate the taste but it never comes out quite right. Yea or nay, I'll stay tuned. Thanks for all the cooking tips on the channel, boss. Good to see you still doing your thing

[kellietrudel]

Nice! I have lots of the chickpea flour so I’ll try it very soon!

[alihajizade]

hey chef. I think watching you trying to make different cuisines from around the world would be an interesting content

[gordoftl]

I add a touch of garlic powder. I know people in southern France would turn their noses on me, but I love it.

[VerhoevenSimon]

That looks like an interesting, quick snack.

[Vey_T.V.]

Oh, thanks for the new knowledge and recipe!

[paul.j.macdonald]

My indian friend showed me that. Its good with finely diced onion in it too.

[korhan-charlotte]

Thanks frank. Just purchased a paella pan. What are the odds. I will definitely try this.

[nicknico]

+ rosemary, black olives, bit of garlic, etc.

I need longer videos Frank! Like how do I make the best cordon blu of all time? (I want to make a buffalo cordon blue with Stilton cheese)

[alexhardie]

Request! Mac and cheese. Would love to see your home Mac and cheese

[namelessdesires]

Chef, my oven is not working and I usually use an electric one I have but I was wondering, do you think I could make this in a comal over the stove? This looks very tasty… I shall try to see how it goes :)

[shes_a_beast]

Could this be done with a stainless steel frying pan instead of a paella pan?

[ReesesCupTaco]

Chef proto it’s me Emme G in your class

[princekt]

Chef frank how similar would you say this is to an Indian cheela? Have you had a chiila/ cheela before?

[robtinelli]

as delicious as this looks, this is a little different than farinata. there's a place in my dad's town where we always got it. seems crispier. and, the method is a little different. let me know if you ever wanna do the Genoese style.
