Chickpea Fries

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

Vegetable oil for frying
4 1/2 c Milk plus
2 tb Milk
Salt; to taste
Cayenne; to taste
Freshly ground white pepper
4 tb Unsalted butter
2 1/4 c Chickpea flour

In a large, deep pot, heat 4 inches of oil until it reaches 350
degrees. Bring milk to a boil in a large saucepan with butter, salt,
cayenne, and white pepper. Slowly add flour, whisking constantly and
vigorously until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of
the pan, about 5 minutes.

Cover an 11- by 17-inch baking sheet with plastic wrap. Pour mixture
onto three quarters of the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly
with an offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to
refrigerator to chill until firm, about 1 hour.

Remove plastic wrap, and cut crosswise into 3-inch strips. Cut strips
crosswise into 1/2-inch fries. Transfer fries to heated oil, and fry
in batches until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, and season
with salt and cayenne pepper. Repeat with remaining fries. Serve
immediately.

Serves 8 to 10.

Comments: These can also be pan-fried in 1/4 inch of olive oil.
