Panelle

Italy · Europe

Short description: These golden fritters are crisp at the edges and tender inside, with a mild nutty flavor from chickpea flour.
Ingredients: Chickpea flour, water, parsley, salt, black pepper, oil, bread roll, and lemon.
Cultural note: They are associated with street stalls and snack counters, where hot fritters can be eaten plain or as a sandwich.
Common misconception: They are not potato chips or cheese slices; the base is cooked chickpea flour cut into thin pieces.
