Ingredients (for 2)
Chick-pea flour: 300gms
Olive oil
Salt to taste
Parsley (chopped)
Preparation
Mix the flour with the pinch of salt with water, add chopped parsley to the mixture, and mix well with a spoon to get really soft, lump-free dough. When the dough is ready it comes off the pan sides and you then place it in the tray to which you add oil, the dough should be reduced to a thickness of half a centimetre. Wait for it to cool and cut it into rectangular shapes. The moulds used by the panellari often have their initials engraved in them, to create personalized panelle versions. The panelle shapes are then deep-fried. When ready, they are placed in the breadbasket with salt, pepper and a few drops of lemon.
