Falafel Patties

This is a great recipe I’ve taken the video directly from my Instagram page.  Many of my followers loved it ♥

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups dried chickpeas – don’t substitute with canned, they are too soft
    1 small onion, roughly chopped
    ¼ cup parsley, chopped
    2 cloves garlic
    1½ tsp chickpea flour
    1¾ tsp salt
    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp ground coriander
    ¼ tsp black pepper
    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
    Pinch for ground cardamom
    Vegetable oil for frying (preferably canola)

Method:
1. Put the chickpeas into a large bowl and cover them with cold water, let them soak overnight.
2. They will double in size as they soak, you will have between 4-5 cups of chickpeas after soaking.
3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas well.
4. Pour them in to a food processor along with the chopped onion, garlic cloves, parsley, chickpea flour, salt, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper & cardamom.
5. Pulse all ingredients together until a rough coarse meal forms.
6. Scrape down the sides and process until the mixture is somewhere between the texture of couscous and paste.
7. You wan the mixture to hold together but you don’t want it turning into hummus.
8.Once the mixture is the desired consistency spoon it into a bowl and let refrigerate for an hour.
9.Fill a pan with the vegetable oil, and heat.
10.Roll into balls or patties and fry until golden.

Serve with home made hummus (recipe coming on the website) and freshly made tabouli.
