Panelle - simple and quick chickpea patties

Oct 21, 2022Michał Pelc

Panelle is simple and tasty chickpea patties. These little pancakes are popular street food in Sicily. They taste similar to baked pancakes.

How to make panels?

  • Pour cold water into the pot
  • Put the strainer on the pot and sift the chickpea flour into the water
  • Bring the water to a boil while mixing the dough with the whisk to get rid of any flour lumps
  • After boiling the water, cook for another 4 minutes, stirring constantly, and add the parsley
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and form the dough into a thin rectangular slice approximately 3 mm thick
  • Leave the dough to cool down
  • Cut the dough into smaller rectangles
  • Fry in deep and very hot fat for several seconds.
  • After frying, dry the residual fat on a paper towel

Tips:

The dough seems very fluid at first, but thickens fairly quickly with mixing. Remember to stir the dough all the time otherwise it may burn.

Panelle can be eaten alone or put in a roll like cheese.
