Homemade Falafel

• 份量: 14 servings
• 准备时间: 20 minutes
• 总时间: 8 hours 50 minutes

配料

1 cup dried chickpeas (not canned)

½ tsp baking soda

3 cups warm water

½ onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

½ cup fresh parsley

½ cup fresh coriander

1 tsp salt

½ tsp baking powder

2 Tbsp sesame seeds

½ cup vegetable oil

Toasted Pita Breads

Salad

Garlic yoghurt or Tzatziki sauce

步骤

In a large bowl, soak the dried chickpeas with baking soda and water for at least 8 hours or overnight.

When the chickpeas are fully soaked (you can bite one and make sure it's not hard in the middle), drain and add to a food processor.

Add all of the remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds and oil. Blitz for 40 seconds at a time, scraping the sides down as you go. Process until you reach a consistency that has some texture but the mix is smooth enough to form into a ball shape.

Stir through the sesame seeds. Scoop out heaped tablespoons, roll into balls then flatten slightly ready to fry

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.

In a large frying pan, heat oil. Add the falafels and fry on each side until golden brown. Transfer to an oven tray and bake for 20 minutes, turning half way through.

Serve the falafel warm from the oven with warm pita pockets, salad and yoghurt sauce.
