Falafel with Tahini (3 Pieces) Recipe

Soak Chickpeas

Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. Ensure they are fully submerged.

Blend Ingredients

Drain the soaked chickpeas and transfer them to a food processor. Add parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a coarse mixture forms.

Form Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet.

Heat Oil

In a deep pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Fry Falafel

Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, water, chopped garlic, salt, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Consistency

If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
