At this point, you have already tried falafel, or at least the name sounds to you. They are a kind of spicy chickpea meatballs or mini-hamburgers that are usually fried and taken alone, with salad or to prepare vegan and / or vegetarian kebabs. They can also be cooked in the oven
Vegan Falafel Ingredients
Raw chickpeas, 300 g
Onion, 1
Garlic, 2 teeth
Coriander, 6 twigs (or parsley if you don't like the taste of coriander)
Chickpea or wheat flour, 4 tablespoons
Ground cumin, 1 tablespoon
Chemical impeller, 8 g
Salt
Oil, for roasting or frying
01: Soak the chickpeas
We put the raw chickpeas to soak and leave them for 24 to 48 hours. After this time we drain them and dry them very well.
02: Prepare the mixture for falafel
In a food processor or in a Thermomix type kitchen robot we put the chickpeas, onion, garlic cloves, cilantro, cumin, chickpea flour - or wheat if you have no problems with gluten - and the impeller . Crush and let the mixture stand for at least an hour.
03: Shape the falafel
We take portions of about 40 grams and give them a ball or mini-hamburger shape. If we see that the dough is very wet and it is difficult to shape it, we can add a little more flour until it has a firmer consistency.
04: Bake or fry the falafel
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, place a sheet of baking paper on the tray, brush the falafel with oil and place them on the paper.
Bake for 15 minutes at 200 ° C, turn them over and bake another 15 minutes on the other side.
Another option would be to fry the falafel in plenty of oil until golden brown on both sides. It is the most common and fastest option, but it is also more caloric.
05: Serve
