Seven Exotic Pancakes for Shrove Tuesday

It’s sunshine in a pancake. Easily made with chickpea flour, olive oil and water (gluten-free), Socca is a Nicoise speciality and best served with anchoide, a gutsy anchovy dip. The real deal is Chez Pipo in Nice’s Old Town where it is cooked to order in a mightily impressive wood-fired oven and has a satisfyingly deep, earthy smoky tang. New Middle East restaurant Jeru in London will be cooking up socca in a wood-fired oven in their wine bar. If making socca at home, add a generous teaspoon of cumin to the frying pan to give a toasty, wood-fired note.
