Steps:
- Pour 4 cups water, the salt, and the olive oil into the saucepan, and gradually whisk in the chickpea flour until smooth. Set over medium heat, and whisk constantly as the batter slowly heats. It will thicken and eventually steam but does not need to boil. Cook and keep whisking, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan frequently, until the mixture is quite stiff and starts to pull away from the sides as you stir it, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Turn the batter into the oiled pan, and spread it quickly with the spatula, before it cools and sets, so it fills the pan in an even layer. Wet the spatula with water, and smooth the top of the batter. Let cool for an hour or longer, until completely firm.
- Cut pieces with a sharp knife, in whatever size or shape you like and in the amount you need. I cut 1 1/2-inch squares for appetizers and Sicilian-style sandwiches; 2-by-3-inch bars-at least two per person-to accompany a main course. Lift the cut pieces from the pan with a spatula (seal the remainder with plastic wrap and refrigerate for longer keeping).
- To fry the panelle, pour enough extra-virgin olive oil into the heavy skillet to cover the bottom with 1/8 inch of oil, and set over medium heat. When the oil is hot, lay in the panelle, leaving plenty of space between them. Fry about 3 minutes, until the underside is crisp and golden, then flip them over and brown the second side, about 2 minutes more. Set the panelle on paper towels to drain and cool for a minute, but serve while they are still warm (though they taste good at room temperature too!).
PANELLE
You may have eaten panelle served as "chickpea fries," and that's not a bad name for them. You make a thick porridge of chickpea flour, spread it evenly into a pan and let it cool. As with thick polenta (which this resembles), you can then cut the paste into any shape you like - diamonds, squares or French fries, and fry until golden. They are not only among the easiest things to fry (there's very little spattering), but they're also gorgeous, and better than "real" fries in just about every regard.

Steps:
- Grease an 8-by-8 baking dish or a quarter sheet pan with some oil. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Put the chickpea flour in a large bowl. When the water comes to a boil, gradually add it to the bowl with the chickpea flour, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Scrape the mixture into the saucepan you used to boil the water, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook for just a minute.
- Scoop the chickpea mixture onto the sheet pan and spread it into an even layer. Let it cool, and cover loosely with parchment or plastic. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
- Put at least 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium heat; heat to 250. Cut the chickpea mixture into French fries, about 3 inches long; blot any excess moisture with a paper towel. Working in batches, gently drop them into the hot oil. Cook, rotating them occasionally until they're golden all over, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain fries on paper towels and immediately sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper. Serve hot, with lemon wedges.
FRIED GARBANZO POLENTA - PANELLE
This is great on it's own, but also great served much like you would grilled bread slices to go with robust stews and pasta sauces. Very light tasting. I love these much better than regular cornmeal polenta.

Steps:
- Pour water, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and 1/4 C olive oil into the saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the garbanzo flour until smooth.
- Cook and keep whisking with a whisk or stirring with a wooden spoon constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan until mixture is quite stiff and starts to pull away from the sides as you stir, usually 15 minutes.
- Turn the batter into the oiled pan with at least 1/2 inch lip and spread it quickly with the spatula dipped in cold water before it cools and sets. Dip the spatula in water to smooth out the top and spread to about 1/2 inch thickness. Make the edges straight and neat.
- Let it cool for about 1 hour until completely firm.
- Once cooled, you can cut in whatever shape or size you like. I cut mine to about 3 inch by 1 1/2 to 2 inch bars.
- Pour enough olive oil into the skillet to cover the bottom with 1/8 inch of oil and set over medium heat. When hot, lay in the panelle and fry about 3 minutes on each side until crisp and golden on both sides. Don't crowd the pan and fry in batches.
- Best served while still warm.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute; don't let the garlic brown. Add 3 cups of the water, and bring it to a boil.
- While the water heats, whisk together in a bowl the cornmeal, salt, and 1 cup water to make a smooth mixture.
- When the water in the saucepan comes to a boil, pour the mixture into it. Whisk constantly for 3 minutes to prevent lumps from forming. Turn the heat to low. Cook for 40 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon every 10 minutes. Stir in the corn kernels and cook the polenta 5 minutes more. Stir in the pepper and Parmesan cheese. Pour the polenta into a lightly oiled 8x8 inch pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Chill the polenta in a refrigerator for 1 hour.
- While the polenta is cooling, cut away the stems and center stalks of the kale. Cut the leaves into 3-inch pieces.
- Cut the chilled polenta into 4 large triangles. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, carefully add the polenta triangles. Fry the polenta until it is golden brown on the underside, then turn the polenta over and cook it until it is golden brown on the other side. Arrange the polenta on a baking sheet.
- Preheat the broiler on your oven.
- Place the kale and 1/3 cup water into the skillet that was just used to fry the polenta. Cover the skillet and cook the kale over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes.
- Place the tomato slices on top of the polenta triangles. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top of the tomato slices. Broil the polenta until the cheese melts and the tomatoes begin to cook.
- Arrange the kale on a serving platter. Place the hot polenta triangles on top of the kale and serve immediately.
