Simple, easy, and delicious falafel - no breaking apart or spattering while frying! Try serving with pita, parsley and hummus or tahini sauce! Falafel is best when it is fresh. However, if you have leftovers, heat in a single layer in the oven to maintain crispiness. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained |
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 cloves garlic, chopped |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 pinch ground black pepper |
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Place garbanzo beans, parsley, onion, flour, garlic, cumin, baking powder, coriander, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse until combined and a chunky, slightly sticky mixture forms.
2. Roll mixture into small balls and place on a plate. Flatten into patties that are 2 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick.
3. Place patties in refrigerator or freezer to help hold together, about 10 minutes.
4. Heat 1 1/2- to 2-inches vegetable oil in large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Fry patties, working in batches to avoid crowding, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain patties on paper towel-lined plate.
