Falafel Balls
This Israeli staple is always a great treat that is good for you too.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Dry Chickpeas (or use drained and rinsed canned chickpeas)
- 1 Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- ½ cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 2 tbsp Chickpea Flour (or quinoa flour)
- 1 tsp Coriander
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tbsp Cumin
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- Tahini Sauce (prepared separately)
- Pita Bread
Instructions
- Soak dry Chickpeas overnight in cold water (or use drained and rinsed canned chickpeas and place straight into the processor).
- Place Chickpeas, Onion, Garlic, Parsley, Chickpea Flour, Coriander, Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin and Olive Oil in processor and blend to form a course paste. Paste should be a little more chunky than hummus but it should hold together when rolled into balls.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Roll into desired size balls. Fry until golden brown in vegetable oil. Drain and serve with Pita Bread and Tahini Sauce.
