Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Chickpea Fries with Sage and Parmesan My kids love these with soup or a snack. 2 3/4 cups milk 1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter 1 small garlic clove, minced 1 cup chickpea flour, sifted if lumpy (see Note) coarse salt and freshly ground pepper canola oil, for frying 2 tablespoons finely chopped sage 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter and garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderately low and gradually whisk in the chickpea flour until smooth. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the mixture into a nonstick 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray; spread into a 1/4-inch layer. Cover with parchment paper and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Pour 1 inch of canola oil into a wide skillet and heat it to 350 degrees, or until a piece of bread bubbles rapidly when added to the hot oil. Meanwhile, cut the chickpea mixture into 2-inch squares. Fry the squares in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the squares to a rack lined with paper towels to drain, then keep them warm in a low oven while you fry the rest. In a bowl, mix the sage and Parmesan cheese. Toss the fries in the cheese and sage mixture until coated; serve warm. Makes 12 servings.
