Panelle are delicious squares of deep-fried batter, made with nothing but chickpea flour, water, herbs, and salt. A traditional street food found in Sicily, panelle are usually served with a big squeeze of sharp lemon, or enjoyed tucked inside a crusty bread roll, the perfect hand-held snack to eat while strolling through the streets of Palermo.
