Falafel has got to be one of the best creations, and I'm so happy to say that they are super easy to make. I am still on a mission to find the best falafel out there, but I think this recipe is so delicious that I might not have to anymore!
Ingredients:
4 cups of dried chickpeas (soaked in water overnight)
2 large onions, chopped
1 whole head garlic
2 bunches of parsley
1 jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons cumin powder
1 teaspoon of salt and pepper
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2-3 cups of olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Combine the beans, onions, garlic, parsley and hot pepper in a food processor. This is a lot, so you can put it in batches. Grind until well incorporated. Add the salt, pepper, cumin and baking powder. At this point, you can freeze the batter you don't want to use without the baking soda added. When ready to fry, add the baking soda.
Heat a large deep skillet with oil on medium high. Use a tablespoon to form balls and fry until golden brown and then flip to the other side until golden brown.
Searve with tomato slices, pickles and tahini sauce in a pita pocket. The tahini sauce can be made very quick. Mix 2 tablespoons of tahini with a whole lemon and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY!
