Falafel

[bronco]

Falafel recipe, on request. This is not actually my recipe, but hoffs ( ie any blame for the recipe being sketchy falls on him ). However I can assure that the falafels end up very tasty if done right .

Soak chickpeas for about eight hours.
Use a foodprocessor or something similar to grind/mix the chickpeas.
Add lots of garlic and salt.
Add cumin and coriander.
Add sesame seeds, complete with shells.
Mix everything together.
If mix is to watery, you can add some chickpeameal.
Make falafel balls and fry them.

The falafels are best served with pitabread, salsa, sesamy sauce, hummus, saurkraut, pepper, onions, sallad and so on.

And of course the falafels should be fried in LOTS of oil.

You rock..I'm going to make some with the left over chickpeas I have.

Thanks !

Allthough, please note that this recipe requires that the chickpeas are NOT boiled. They should be soaked only.

This is pretty much how I'd make falafels, only I'd always add onion and some fresh parsley to the mix.

Quite often when i'm making falafals for friends I also accompany it with a dip made from a blend of vegan yoghurt, lemon juice and cucumber and a bit of salt.

Oh, I love tzatziki with my falafel which I make pretty much like that except I add lots of garlic of course .

i put a little bit of chillli in mine to spice it up.
some recipes suggest bicarbinate of soda, which i usually add.
I toast and grind corainder and cumin seeds and use dried coriander leaf too.

Onion probably retains some moisture. I've heard people saying they don't like felafel because it's too dry.

Yeah, falafel definitely has to be moist for me to like it (but if they are they are yummy! ).

Aye, a local vegan food company makes kabuli chana felafel and although they are gorgeous they do seem to be a bit chokeworthy.

I had some that were a little too hard for the recipe I was making so I picked them out; they actually worked quite well even though they were semi-cooked. I added a bunch of extra spices and dipped them in hummus. My boyfriend used baba ganoush.

I made falafel using green chick peas a few weeks ago. They looked relly atractive and tasted good too. Thought it was nice with som variation. Mmmm. I wish I had ready soaked chickpeas now so I could make falafel for lunch.
