Panelle are traditional Sicilian fritters made from chickpea flour, water, and various seasonings. The mixture is cooked until thickened, then spread out and allowed to cool before being cut into squares or rectangles. They are typically deep-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Often enjoyed as a street food, panelle are commonly served in a Sicilian sandwich, known as "pane con le panelle," along with caciocavallo cheese or lemon for added flavor. This dish is popular in Palermo and reflects the rich culinary heritage of Sicily.
