-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Fritters:

3 cups chick pea flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon white pepper

3/4 cup water -- to 1 cup

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 teaspoon minced garlic

Vegetable oil -- (for frying)

Sauce:

2 onions -- finely chopped

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup red pepper paste -- (aka Spice Paste, Berbere, or

Harissa)

3 cloves garlic -- minced

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

 

Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the 3/4 cup water,

onion, and garlic. If dough is too crumbly, add a little more water. Dough

should form a compact ball.

 

On a lightly floured surface roll out dough until it is 1/4 " thick. Use cookie

cutters to cut out shapes (fish shape is traditional).

 

Pour oil into a skillet 2-3 " deep. Heat oil until it reaches 350 degrees on a

deep-frying thermometer. Fry fritters for 3-4 minutes, turning them frequently

until they puff slightly and are golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a towel

to drain.

 

Then prepare sauce:

Cook the onions in a dry skillet over the lowest heat for 5 minutes, or until

they are soft and dry. Do not let burn or brown.Pour in the oil, and when it's

hot, stir in the berbere and garlic. Add the water, stir, and cook briskly over

moderate heat until the sauce thickens. Season with salt.Place the fritters in

the skillet and coat them with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the

skillet partially, and simmer for 30 minutes.

 

 

Sevings depend on size of fritters. 6 - 8 main dish servings.
