Stuffed Falafel Recipe

Stuffed Falafel Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Chickpeas

   Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight. Drain and rinse before using.

2. 2

   Make Falafel Mixture

   In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is coarse yet combined.

3. 3

   Form Falafel Balls

   Take a small portion of the falafel mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the chosen stuffing in the center, then fold the edges over to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

4. 4

   Heat Oil

   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

5. 5

   Fry Falafel

   Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the stuffed falafel warm with your favorite dipping sauce or in pita bread with fresh vegetables.
