FALAFEL
Ingredients (Enough For 6 Persons):
Chickpeas 1 lb.
Medium size Onion.
6 oz. green parsley.
6 teaspoons Cumin
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Hot green pepper "jalapinos" (1-2).
Directions:
1- Soak the chickpeas in water for about 6 to 8 hours.
2- Grind the chickpeas together with the onion, parceley, and jalapino pepper ( use a blender and don’t overload ). *** here i've personally found a food processor works better
3- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
4- Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
5- mix until homogeneous.
6- Flatten the top of the mixture and add a thin layer of cumin on top (6 teaspoons).
7- Let the falafel mix set for about half an hour.
8- Deep fry the falafel, you need a falafel tool (you may use an ice cream scoop or any kitchen tool that can give a round shape to the falafel), and use a deep frying pan with enough vegetable oil. (oil should be hot, don’t know how many degrees but should be hot).
9- Use pita bread, serve w/ pickles, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Enjoy
