    Recipe Introduction


    Chickpea Flour Fritters

    List of Ingredients




    Serves 6-8

    3 3/4 cups ceci (chickpea/garbanzo bean) flour, sifter after measuring
    6 cups cold water
    2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
    3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
    3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional
    Sunflower or safflower oil for frying

    Recipe



    Gradually whisk the sifted ceci flour into the cold water in a 6-quart pot, being sure to avoid lumps. Add the salt and cook over a medium fire, stirring almost nonstop, until mixture comes away from the sides of the pot, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley and cheese.

    Working quickly, spread the mixture 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick on a moistened marble surface or wet baking sheet. Leave to cool. Cut the panelle into rectangles 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches.

    Heat the oil in a deep pan to 365 degrees F. Slide in several panelle, being sure they are not crowded and can move freely, and fry until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper and serve immediately.
