Falafel Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

Toppings Ingredients

Method

Falafel Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover them with plenty of water. Let them soak overnight (or at least 8 hours) until they are doubled in size.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms. Do not over-process; it should still have some texture.

  3. 3

    Add Flour

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chickpea flour until the mixture holds together. Form into small patties (about 2 inches in diameter).

  4. 4

    Fry the Falafel

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel patties (in batches if necessary) and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Hummus Directions

  1. 5

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Assembly Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Toppings

    Dice the cucumber and tomato, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spread a generous amount of hummus. Top with falafel patties, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and local greens. Drizzle with tahini dressing before serving.
