From Decmeber 2011.....
This recipe is a simple and fun spin on french fries. When I first made the video someone asked whether or not it reminded me of polenta? At the time, I didn't think so, but now I do.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large garlic clove -- minced or crushed
1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
Line the bottom of a casserole dish with wax paper.
Bring the water, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to a boil and turn the fire down to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in the chickpea flour.
Once the mixture is thick and sticky, transfer it to the wax paper immediately. Don't over mix.
Using the other sheet of wax paper, cover the mixture and spread it across pan as evenly as you can.
Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 20 minutes in a freezer will also do the trick.
When you're ready to fry, heat your frying oil.
Cut up the chickpea batter into slices.
Fry!
You can make several batches and freeze for later.
