Hovan® Falafel Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Soak the Chickpeas

   Place dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight for at least 8 hours.

2. 2

   Prepare the Mixture

   Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

3. 3

   Add Water

   Gradually add water while processing until the mixture holds together but is not too wet.

4. 4

   Form the Falafel Balls

   Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) from the mixture.

5. 5

   Fry the Falafel

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove falafel from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or in a pita.
