Here are Southerner fries made with chickpea flour. So when Julien Duboué, the star chef from the Landes, creates his own recipe for this vintage junk-food in his book "Sud-Ouest" it’s obviously a killer...
The tasty story : « After a game of pétanque with friends in the sunny Var region, my friend’s mother served panisses at happy hour. I found this so interesting that when I returned home, I tried the recipe by replacing the water with fresh cream, to make the panisse tastier and creamier... I also added chorizo by Eric Ospital and rosemary to bring a herbal touch and underline Provençal character of the recipe.»
