Panissa (GF)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 7 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Bring the water to a boil, then stir in the chickpea flour, salt, garlic powder, oregano and pepper.

You should have a thin, smooth batter.

Pour into a pan at least 14" in diameter, bring over medium high heat to return to a bubble.

Reduce heat to low and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring briskly with a whisk in the first 5 minutes to make it smooth.

When it is done cooking, it should be a thick cake that will not stick to your hands.

Allow to cool, then cut the panissa into squares or triangles.

Heat the olive oil to a medium high heat in a skillet. Add in the dough pieces and fry until slightly crispy.

Serve with a tomato sauce or pepper jelly.
