Panissa genovese

Panissa Genovese is a typically Ligurian chick pea flour-based dish. It is traditionally eaten hot with a grating of black pepper, a drizzle of Extra Virgin Oil and a splash of lemon juice. Alternatively, Panissa can also be left to cool in a box after cooking. The solidified Panissa can be cut into slices or diced up and fried in a pan together with a browned onion in lots of Olive Oil and a pinch of salt. This is the fried version of Panissa Ligure.
