Ingredients
- 1 cups dry chickpeas soaked for at least 12 hours
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅓ cup chickpea flour
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
- 2 cups Green Leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ⅓ cup oil for frying
- ½ red onion or 1 whole onion if it's small
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
Instructions
- Add chopped onion, garlic cloves, and parsley to a food processor.
- Pulse a few times.
- Add previously soaked and drained chickpeas, cumin, salt, and ground pepper.
- Blend until the mixture has a granulated texture.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and add chickpea flour. Stir well and let it rest for 5 minutes. After that, you should be able to form the falafel into balls. Add one more tablespoon of chickpea flour if needed, then let the mixture rest for another 5 minutes before forming balls.
- Pressing very well with your hands, roll falafel mixture into 14–16 falafels. Its easier to make them one by one and then fry them at the same time.
- Add olive oil to a heated skillet and fry falafels. Roll them over when they get brownish on one side to make sure both sides get equally fried.
- Place fried falafels on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
- Assemble bowl with green leaves, cherry tomatoes, fresh falafels, and tahini sauce.
