Method

Preparing the Falafel

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

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

  2. 2

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