The French Series : Socca waffles

| | 4 commentaires


« Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, moi-même, sur cette côte où vivait Renoir, nous avons essayé de vaincre l'esprit de destruction qui domine l'époque, nous avons orné des surfaces que les hommes rêvent de démolir. Peut-être, que l'amour de notre travail les protégera contre les bombes »
Jean Cocteau 
                                                                                                                                                


You can prepare the batter the day before and cook it for breakfast. Making waffles out of socca batter is quicker than traditional socca. It does not taste exactly the same as I usually make soccas extra-thin and crisp and add onions. The sun-dried tomato and basil hummus makes it even more Mediterranean: it tastes like summer. I'm more an (Atlantic) Ocean person than a (Mediterranean) Sea person but this year, I'd hop on a train to Nice without a moment's hesitation and at the same time take the opportunity to visit the Cocteau museum in Menton (which I have been meaning to for 2 years).
I ate my waffles with roasted sweet potatoes but the hummus would pair well with courgettes, aubergines or peppers. Another version that I like is leek and mushroom stir-fry topped with lemon-coriander hummus.

Oh and do not taste the raw batter.

    1. we should meet in Nice and have a socca from a street food stall. Socca cooked over a wood fire is the best!
