Yield: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 50g chickpea flour (U.S. option HERE)
- 50g lupin flour (U.S. option HERE) (world-wide delivery option HERE - use code QUEENKETO5 for discount at checkout)
- fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S.option HERE)
- pinch of turmeric powder
- 300ml water
- 10g extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- put dry ingredients into a medium pan.
- add ⅓ of the water and beat to a smooth paste using a manual whisk.
- incorporate the remaining water, EVOO and salt, whilst continuing to whisk.
- cook over medium heat for a few minutes, while you keep whisking, until the mix thickens (to about the consistency of polenta).
- pour onto a sheet of parchment paper, quickly spreading with a spatula uniformly, to about 1cm high.
- once cool and firm, cut 1cm lines across and 6-7cm lines the other way, so as to achieve French fries shapes.
- pre-heat oven to 180°C fan (200°C static).
- cover a baking tray with parchment paper brushed with EVOO, add fries, brush a little more olive oil over them, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and bake for 20 mins.
- turn fries over, sprinkle salt again and bake for another 15-20 mins until crispy.
- serve with home-made ketchup (2:1 ratio of mayonnaise to tomato concentrate + a little Dijon mustard + a little water).
Notes
For my home-made ketchup, I use Calvé mayonnaise because it is unparalleled in flavour and is virtually zero carbs. For U.S. option click HERE.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to enable accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
