Sicilian Chickpea Fritters
Ingredients
  • 3 cups chickpea flour
  • salt to taste
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 quart vegetable oil, or as needed
Instructions
1
Combine chickpea flour and a pinch of salt in a substantial saucepan over low heat. Gradually add water, stirring constantly to avoid the formation of lumps.
2
As the mixture becomes smooth and velvety, transition to medium heat and bring it to a rolling boil. Decrease the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring persistently, until the mixture starts to detach from the sides of the pan.
3
Introduce a handful of chopped parsley and a dash of black pepper. Fine-tune the seasoning with salt if necessary.
4
Pour the chickpea mixture onto a well-greased baking sheet. Evenly spread it to form a 1 1/2 inch thick layer. Allow the mixture to set and harden, at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
5
Cut the chickpea mixture into 1 1/2- x 2-inch squares.
6
Heat a substantial amount of vegetable oil in a deep pot until it reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Carefully drop a few squares at a time into the hot oil and deep fry until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot
