Cajun Chickpea Fries with Cilantro Jalapeno Lime Cream Dip  

Step 1

Blend the Chickpea Flour, water, salt, and garlic powder until smooth. Then add to a sauce pan over medium heat and cook. The mixture will get lumpy, stir occasionally and it will eventually and even out to a thicker custard like state. Continue to cook for another 2 mins after it has thickened evenly. Transfer the mixture to a greased 7-8 inch pan or spread over parchment and even out on the top using parchment paper.

Step 2

Chill for 20 minutes, and slice the chickpea into fry size slices.

Step 3

Add the chickpea fries to a skillet over medium heat with 2 tsp of oil and panfry until most of the edges are golden.

Step 4

Take off heat and add in the cajun spice, garlic, salt (only if your Cajun blend doesn’t have salt), in pan, and toss well to coat. Taste and ajust to salt and spice.

Step 5

Blend all the ingredients until they're smooth and creamy. I usually soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, and then blend, and then blend the mixture for 1 minute, let it sit for 10 minutes in the blender, then blend again. That gives a really creamy depth. Taste and adjust salt and lime as needed.

Step 6

Serve the freshly pan fried chickpea fries with the Cilantro Jalapeno Lime Dip.You can also serve these fries with salsa, ketchup or my tahini dip for a Nutfree variation.
