Authentic Falafel
Added 2020-07-04 15:47:54 +0000 UTCWe absolutely love the flavor of this falafel, and i learned this recipe from someone who grew up in Israel, and although its simple ingredients, it truly tastes amazing!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups dry chickpeas
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley, packed
Half a Lemon Juiced
2 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup oat flour (grind up whole oats in your blender to make oat flour)
Soak your chickpeas Overnight. The next day drain the chickpeas and cook until soft. This will take around 1.5 hours. In a pressure cooker it will take 13-18 minutes
Drain the cooked chickpeas and let cool. Place in a food processor with the other ingredients and pulse. Dont over mix as it will turn into hummus. Shape into round disks and sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with avocado, tahini dressing, quinoa, and saurkraut!
Tahini Dressing
1.5 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic
juice of 1-2 lemons
salt and pepper to taste
water to blend
Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend on high. add water as needed in order to get the right consistency. I add around 1/2- 1 cup water.
