Homemade Falafel with Chickpeas and Spices
Ingredients
- 2 Cans chickpeas
- 1 Cup Red Onion (Chopped)
- 1/4 Cup Parsley
- 4 Cloves Garlic (Peeled)
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Cup Bread Crumbs
- Olive Oil
Preparation
Add the chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and spices to a food processor.
Pulse the ingredients together until they’re combined and form a wet paste. Take care not to over-blend!
Transfer the blended mixture to a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs, mixing until just combined.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and shape into roughly 18-20 1 inch balls.
Heat the oil in a pan, and fry the falafel balls for ~3 mins, flipping half way through. They’re cooked when golden brown and crispy.
Enjoy as they are, in a wrap, on a salad, or however you like!
