Homemade Falafel by RecipeTin Eats

Recipe from Recipe Tin Eats

 

 

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

Falafels
225 g dried chick peas
1 cup parsley leaves , roughly chopped
1 cup coriander, roughly chopped
6 shallots , finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic , mince
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
4 tsp flour (plain/all purpose) OR chickpea flour
5 tbsp water

INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk the egg white and salt until stiff. Fold in the egg yolk, lemon zest and flour. Gently fold in the whitebait until just combined. Season well with lots of freshly ground black pepper.

Set a heavy pan over medium heat. Drop in about 30g of the butter. When it foams, drop in spoonful's of the mixture. Cook for about three minutes, then gently flip and cook for two minutes on the second side. Add more butter if the pan is getting dry. Remove the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate (they’re likely to disappear as soon as they’re made, but you can also put them in a low oven to keep warm before serving). Repeat the process with the remaining mixture until all the fritters are cooked. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

TIPS

Place chickpeas in a large bowl and pour over plenty of cold water. Leave to soak 12 + hours (even 2 days is fine).
Drain chickpeas well. Place in food processor, add remaining Falafel ingredients.
Blitz for 2 to 3 minutes on high, scraping down sides as necessary, until the chickpeas are very small grains. Mixture should look like smooth guacamole from the outside (see video).
Scoop up heaped tablespoons and shape into balls (or dome, disc or torpedo), place on a tray. Should make around 20, about 2.5cm / 1" wide.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pour oil in a skillet or large pot - at least 1.7 cm / 2/3" depth (Note 4). Heat on medium high to 180 - 190C / 355F (or drop a bit in, should sizzle energetically).
Place a ball in a large spoon (or tongs) and slide ball in. Cook in batches for around 4 minutes, using 2 forks to roll, until deep golden and super crusty on the outside.
Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining falafel.
Serve fresh out of the fryer with Sauce of choice! Make falafel wraps or plates with tabbouleh, tomato, onion, and Sauces of choice.
