Falafel Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, chopped parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely blended but still has some texture.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, shape the mixture into 5 equal patties.

  3. 3

    Fry the Falafels

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel patties and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
