Whisk the chickpea flour, water, salt, and black pepper in a pot until lump-free.
Cook the mixture over medium heat for 12 minutes, stirring, until it becomes like a thick pudding.
Finely chop the parsley and stir it into the hot mixture.
Spread the mixture thinly on an oiled tray and cool completely for 1 hour.
Cut the cooled panelle mixture into rectangular slices.
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C and fry the panelle for 3 minutes until golden.
Serve the panelle hot with lemon and sesame bread.
💡 Tip: Spread the panelle mixture thinly on the tray; if it is poured too thick, the outside colors while the inside stays doughy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve panelle hot with sesame sandwich bread, lemon, and optional arugula salad on a snack plate.
