Panella
Sicilian fritter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panella (pl.: panelle) is a Sicilian fritter made with chickpea flour and other ingredients, usually including water, salt, pepper, olive oil, and finely chopped parsley. They are a popular street food in the city of Palermo and are often eaten between slices of bread or on a sesame roll, like a sandwich. Called pane e panelle, these sandwiches are usually served with a slice of lemon to be squeezed over panelle.[1][2]
