Falafel Recipe

Falafel Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

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

2. 2

   Add Flour

   Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and mix in the all-purpose flour. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding more flour or a little water.

3. 3

   Chill the Mixture

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.

4. 4

   Form Patties

   Once chilled, take a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into small patties or balls.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.

6. 6

   Fry the Falafel

   Carefully add the formed patties to the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

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