Niçoise Socca with Olives, Peppers and Anchovies
, tasty crepes made from chickpea flour, are a Provençal street food, cooked quickly on a sizzling griddle and eaten on the go. This version, which browns under the broiler, is something between a sturdy crêpe and a soft flatbread. The chickpea flour gives it a tender, almost custardlike texture. Serve it warm from the oven as a light lunch or an appetizer.
