Frying oil

For the anchovy sauce

100 g anchovies in oil

Steps for the panisses

Prepare the panisses (the day before): bring 95 cl of water to the boil in a saucepan, add salt, spices and olive oil. Add the chickpea flour and, using a whisk, stir for 5 min over low heat to cook the dough. Blend for 1 min. Pour the dough onto a rimmed baking sheet that has been filmed. Chill overnight in the fridge.
Cut the dough into 2.5 cm cubes and deep-fry at 180°C for approx. 4-5 min.
Prepare the anchovy sauce: rinse the anchovies 2 or 3 times. Peel, slice and stew the onions in butter over a low heat for 2 hours.
Blend the onions with the anchovies, garlic and lemon juice. Finely chop the herbs (criste, samphire or dill), mix and season. Pipe the cream into a pastry bag fitted with a fine tip.
Finish: fill the panisses with anchovy and onion cream using the piping bag, serve with a fresh salad and enjoy with a bottle of chilled rosé and friends!
