Chickpea Fries

• neutral oil, for greasing and frying
• 1 cup chick pea flour, sifted
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Parmesan cheese, finely grated for garnish

1. Grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with a rim and set aside.
2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot.
3. Gradually add the chickpea flour, with a large pinch of salt and pepper, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Reduce to a gentle bubble, stir in the olive oil, and cook for just a minute.
5. Scoop the chickpea mixture onto the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
6. Let cool for a few minutes and then cover loosely with parchment or plastic.
7. Refrigerate until chilled through, about 30 minutes (but up to a day, covered tightly, after its completely cool).
8. Put 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
9. Meanwhile, cut the chickpea mixture into 3 x 1/2-inch fries (or into triangles or into rounds using a cookie cutter).
10. Gently put batches of the fries into the hot oil, rotating them gently for even cooking and browning on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.
11. Drain the fries on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with salt, lots of pepper, and a good dusting of Parmesan if you like.
12. Serve hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
