Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
  • 2 tbsp chickpea flour
  • 1 cup packed fresh parsley
  • ¾ cup packed fresh coriander
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Good pinch sea salt & pepper
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Wholemeal pita bread
  • Suggested fillings: tomato, shredded lettuce, cucumber, sauerkraut
  • Suggested sauces: tahini sauce, tzatziki, hummus or baba ghanoush

Method


  • Soak dried chickpeas overnight in a large bowl covered in water. Make sure chickpeas are covered in around 4 inches of water. Drain them well the next day.
  • Place chickpeas in your food processor with chickpea flour, parsley, coriander, onion, garlic, cumin, sea salt, pepper, baking powder, and lemon juice. If the mixture is too wet add a little more flour. If the mixture is too dry add a little lemon juice or olive oil. Don’t over-blend it — you don’t want a puree. Process just enough so the mixture starts to hold together.
  • Make 2 tbsp balls with the mixture and then place them on a tray and refrigerate for 30 min.
  • Falafels can either be pan fried in olive oil until golden, or oven baked. To oven bake your falafels preheat the oven to 190°C. Brush them with olive oil and then bake them for 15 mins, turn and bake for a further 10 mins until golden.
  • Serve your falafels in warm pita bread with lots of salad veggies and your preferred sauces.
