Panelle with preserved lemon mayo and artichokes
Italian 15 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- To make the panelle, line a baking tray with baking paper
- Combine the chickpea flour, water and salt together in a medium-sized pot over a low heat and whisk together until completely smooth.
- Increase the heat to a medium-low and continue to whisk the mixture until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot, approx. 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the mixture onto the lined baking tray, and quickly and evenly spread the mixture out until it’s about 3mm thick.
- Once the mixture has cooled completely, use a sharp knife and cut into 5cm squares.
- Turn the squares upside down and set aside to dry for about 2 hours or until they’ve formed a skin on the surface (this will help it crisp up when frying).
- To make the aioli, first finely grate the garlic clove and finely chop the lemon preserve. Combine these with the mayonnaise in a small bowl and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Pour into a piping bag and cut the tip off. Set aside.
- Cut the artichokes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Heat up a deep fat fryer or large pot of oil to 170°C, and fry the panelle squares until golden and crisp, approx. 2-3 minutes, and drain on paper towels.
- To serve, pipe a dollop of aioli in the centre of the panelle, top with the artichoke and sprinkle over some chopped parsley.
