Chick Pea Fries
Ingredients
1 cup chick pea flour
2 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
½ teaspoon iodised salt
½ tsp cumin
Optional extras – parmesan/grated cheese or herbs
Method
1. Milk chickpea flour, salt and cumin together
(and any extras) and stir well
2. Add oil, then water and whisk firmly for a
minute until all combined with no lumps
3. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly to
avoid clumping.
4. Cook for approx. 10 minutes until mixture has thickened to a “custard like” thickness
5. Mixture will start to “puff” (air bubbles) once ready – turn stove off.
6. Line an oven tray with baking paper and then spread out the mixture evenly across
the tray (1/2 cm thickness) to cool on the tray.
7. Place in fridge for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) so that mixture can firm up.
8. Once firm, cut into 1 cm thick strips (about finger length to resemble a hot chip).
9. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan and deep fry the chickpea chips!
10. Set on baking paper to cook, then serve as part of a meal or with smashed avocado!
