It’s a chickpea pancake which is traditionally cooked in a clay oven and served on oily bread (schiacciatina) with lots of black pepper. Sometimes, cinque e cinque is served with a little fried garlic and aubergine on top. In Nice, south France, a similar dish called socca is served. Ingredients 150 g chickpea flour (gram flour) 430 ml water 1 tbsp olive oil Salt Pepper Instructions Mix the ingredients together to make a smooth batter. Heat some oil in a frying pan. Pour in a thin layer of the batter and allow to cook. Either turn the pancake over carefully with a spatula, or if you’re feeling adventurous, flip the pancake up in the air! Use the remaining batter to cook more pancakes. Serve warm on bread with freshly ground black pepper. 2.2.1
