Falafel Ingredients

Roasted Carrot Hummus Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    In a large bowl, soak the dried chickpeas in water for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.

  2. 2

    Make the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely ground but not pureed.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.

  4. 4

    Form the Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, form the chilled mixture into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Fry the Falafel

    Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Roasted Carrot Hummus Preparation

  1. 6

    Roast the Carrots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the carrots into bite-sized pieces. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  2. 7

    Blend the Hummus

    In a blender or food processor, add the roasted carrots, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
