Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp grapeseed oil

  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp thyme fresh minced
  • 1/2 tsp coriander ground
  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp salt kosher (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pot on medium add grapeseed oil and sauté onions until translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic, fresh thyme, coriander and half the salt. Sautee until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes
  3. Add water and remaining salt along with chick pea flour
  4. Bring to a boil and continually stir mixture until thick to the consistency of cream of wheat.
  5. Spread on a well-oiled glass casserole dish or small parchment lined and oiled sheet pan.
  6. Cover with another sheet of oiled parchment and wrap with plastic wrap. Cool at least 4 hours
  7. Cut into manageable sizes and drop into 375 degree oil , cook until golden brown
  8. These will also pan fry beautifully and can be cut into other shapes and used as a base to a fish entrée, or any other protein for a more sophisticated take on the fry.
  9. Best to make day ahead and fry fresh and serve immediately with a spiced up mayo.
