This vegetarian recipe from the Middle East is so tasty and easy that you can make it at home.
- Soak 500 grams of dry chickpeas in a big container with water 24 hours outside the refrigerator (don’t use can chickpeas). They will double the size.
- Drain the water of the chickpeas and process them with 1 cup of water, 2 onions previously cut, 10 garlic cloves previously cut, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and salt. Add the spices that you like: pepper, fresh parsley, cilantro, coriander, dill, a bit of cumin and cayenne pepper. You can also add toasted sesame seeds.
- If you keep the paste in the refrigerator for 1 hour before making the falafels, it will be easier because it sets better. Make the little burgers, balls or the shape you prefer.
- Fry them with hot olive oil both sides. They will be ready and crispy when they are medium brown. Enjoy!
Chickpeas are very nutritious, source of proteins, vitamins B1, B2, B9, C, E, K and minerals like calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, potassium and phosphorus. You can also freeze some of your Falafels to have always ready a great healthy snack at home.
