Organic Falafel Platter Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Falafel Mixture

   In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse paste forms.

2. 2

   Shape the Falafels

   Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Fry the Falafels

   In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the falafel balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Prepare the Platters

   Serve the falafel on a platter with sliced pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and hummus on the side.
