Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Panisses (French Chickpea-flour 'Fries') These chickpea-flour " fries " are a staple of Niçoise cuisine. Olive oil 2 1/2 cups chickpea flour Vegetable oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper Brush six saucers with olive oil and set aside. Pour chickpea flour in a steady stream into 4 cups cold salted water in a large, heavy saucepan, whisking as you pour to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, whisking vigorously, until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, still whisking, and pour batter into saucers. Fill the saucers up to the rims, about 1/2 " thick. Cool at least 30 minutes, then gently slide batter off saucers and cut into " steak-fry " shapes, about 3/4 " x 3 " long. Heat 1 " vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Fry in batches without crowding, turning often, until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, season with salt and pepper. Yields about 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
