Chickpea Fries
Harissa-Mayo Dipping Sauce
Method
Chickpea Fries
Prepare the batter
In a saucepan, combine the chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Cook the batter
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Set the batter
Pour the thickened batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and spread it evenly. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
Cut and fry
Once cooled, cut the set batter into fries. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chickpea fries until golden and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Garnish
Remove from the skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Harissa-Mayo Dipping Sauce
Mix the sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, harissa, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
Serve
Serve the chickpea fries hot with the harissa-mayo dipping sauce on the side.
