Ingredients
- 1 cups chickpeas soaked for at least 12 hours, dry
- 3 cloves garlic
- ⅓ cup chickpea flour
- ¼ cup parsley fresh
- ⅓ cup neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
- ½ red onion medium, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place the onion, garlic cloves, and parsley in a food processor.
- Pulse a few times.
- Add the previously soaked and drained chickpeas, cumin, salt, and ground pepper to the food processor and blend again.
- Blend ingredients until the mixture has a thick, granulated texture.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the chickpea flour. Stir very well and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. You should now be able to form the dough into balls. If the mixture is still too moist, add one more tablespoon of chickpea flour, then let the dough sit for 5 more minutes.
- Pressing with your hands, roll falafel mixture into 14–16 falafel balls.
- To fry your falafels, add olive oil to a hot skillet. Add the falafel balls, turning them over occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Place the fried falafels on a clean paper towel to drain the excess oil.
