Panisses are chickpea fritters made from garbanzo flour. A similar recipe, the polenta fries, are made of cornmeal.(see the recipe: polenta fries) The fried Panisses have a delicate, crispy exterior and a soft and creamy interior.

Ingredients

  • 270 g (2 ¼ cups) chickpea flour
  • 1 liter (4 cups)vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • oil, for frying
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fleur de sel (optional)
    FOR THE PESTO DIP:
  • 50 g pine nuts
  • ½ a clove of garlic
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Preparation

  • Oil a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) rectangular pan and line with parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides.
    In a bowl, combine the chickpea flour with half the broth (500 mL / 2 cups) using a whisk.
    In a saucepan, bring the remaining broth (2 cups / 500 mL) and garlic to a boil. Drizzle in the chickpea paste, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes while stirring. Spread over the prepared pan in a thin even layer. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm to touch.
    On a work surface, gently unmold the dough. Cut into 48 sticks, or into 4 strips crosswise and 12 lengthwise.
    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 cm (½ inch) of oil until the temperature reaches 165 ° C (325 ° F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
    Fry about a quarter of the sticks at a time, about 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning halfway through cooking. Drain on absorbent paper. Continue with the rest of the sticks.
    Eat as an aperitif with a little fleur de sel, to taste.
    PESTO DIP:
    For the dip, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan, then tip into a food processor. Crush in the garlic and grate in the Parmesan, measure in 60ml of extra virgin olive oil, then add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until combined but still coarse. Season to taste, and scrape into a serving bowl.
