Chickpea French Fries
The Joys of Eating Panisses
2 min readMay 19, 2022
When I was a small child my mother used to cook chickpea French fries, (better known as panisses) for me all the time. They are the perfect snack food. They are crispy on the outside and super creamy on the inside. Panisses make a great accompaniment for roast chicken, lamb, beef, and seafood. You can even sprinkle them with sugar and enjoy them as a sweet.
Panisses are made by slowly cooking chickpea flour and water into a thick porridge, pouring it onto an oiled pan, cooling overnight, then cut into finger-sized shapes and deep-frying.
Watch the video to the end to learn the secret to super crunchy panisses.
