Discover the Secret to Perfect Pencas Fritas with Olla GM: A Foolproof Guide

If you’re looking to make the perfect crispy and flavorful pencas fritas (fried fennel) using your Olla GM, then you’ve come to the right place. In this recipe, we will share with you the secret to achieving the perfect texture and taste for this delicious Spanish side dish. So, let’s get started!

Ingredients:

2 fennel bulbs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the Fennel

Start by trimming the tops and bottoms of the fennel bulbs. Remove any tough outer layers and cut the bulbs into thin, even slices. Rinse the sliced fennel under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 2: Create the Coating Mixture

In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3: Coat the Fennel

Dredge each fennel slice in the coating mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating and place the coated slices on a clean plate or tray.

Step 4: Preheat the Olla GM

In your Olla GM, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pot. Preheat the Olla GM to **180°C** using the «Fry» function. It’s important to preheat the oil to ensure the fennel slices cook evenly and become crispy.

Step 5: Fry the Fennel

Once the oil is hot enough, carefully place a few fennel slices into the Olla GM. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can result in uneven frying. Cook the fennel slices for approximately **3-4 minutes** per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Drain and Serve

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried fennel slices from the Olla GM and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil. Repeat this process until all the fennel slices are fried.

Once drained, sprinkle the pencas fritas with a pinch of salt while they are still hot. This will enhance the flavors. Serve them as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or as a delicious accompaniment to your main course.

Now that you know the secret to perfect pencas fritas with Olla GM, you can enjoy this crispy and flavorful Spanish dish anytime. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your Olla GM, and get ready to impress your family and friends with this foolproof recipe!
