FALAFEL AND HUMMUS IN A BLENDER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the falafel: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
• Add the shallot, parsley, and garlic to a blender and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt, flour, and olive oil and blend until combined, but still slightly chunky, 15-20 pulses, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Scoop the falafel mixture into 2-tablespoon portions and gently roll into balls, then flatten slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You should have about 12 balls.
• Working in batches, fry the falafel balls in the hot oil for 2-4 minutes, until dark golden brown. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain, then arrange on a serving platter, garnish with parsley, and set aside while you make the dips.
• Make the roasted red pepper hummus: Add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, pepper, and salt to the blender. Purée until smooth, adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Make the tzatziki sauce: Add the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint to the blender. Purée until mostly smooth, but still with some texture. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with more dill.
• Serve the falafel, hummus, and tzatziki with pitas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.

Steps:

• To the bowl of a 2-quart (2 liter) food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Pulse the ingredients together until just incorporated and they form a wet paste. Be careful not to overblend.
• Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and add the bread crumbs, mixing until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the chilled falafel mixture from the refrigerator and shape into 1-inch balls. The mixture should yield 18-20 balls.

• Serve the falafel as desired, either as a sandwich, salad topping, or over a bed of greens with a side of tahini sauce.
