Ingredients
To make Falafel, you'll need:
- 2 cups Chickpeas cooked
- 2 tbsp Parsley freshly chopped and rinsed
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/3 cup Water
- 1 slice Wheat Bread crustless firm
- 1/4 tsp Cumin torn into pieces
- 1 tbsp Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Basil
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Marjoram
- 3 Garlic Cloves finely
- 1 tbsp Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste) chopped
- 1 Egg White
Method
- Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.
- Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour. Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, egg white, cumin, majoram, baking soda, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl.
- Blend the firm bread in a food processor to create breadcrumbs. Add this to the bowl along with the egg white and mix.
- Add flour. Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.
- Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten. Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Serve hot.
