Falafel from Moosewood Cookbook image

An exotic vegetarian delicacy... it's SO EASY and SO GOOD! Very flavorful and lots of spice. This only takes 5 minutes to put together and another few minutes of frying. Put them in a pita with shredded lettuce and Tzatziki sauce (recipe # 257413 is excellent!) for an easy, delicious, vegetarian lunch or dinner. Figure 3 to 4 felafel will fit in a pita when planning serving sizes.

Time 20m

Yield 20 falafel, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup onion, minced
4 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons cumin (I usually add a bit more for stronger flavor)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
3 dashes cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped and packed
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup flour
oil, for pan frying (I use olive oil which works great)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except flour in a food processor.
  • Blend until the consistency is uniform.
  • Thoroughly mix flour into the felafel batter with a spoon.
  • Heat a heavy skillet and add oil to coat completely. Wait until oil is heated and water sizzles upon contact when sprinkled into pan.
  • Drop tablespoons of the batter into the oil, flattening slightly with a spatula like a small thick pancake. When bottoms are crispy and browned, flip them over.
  • Place cooked felafel on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any residual oil.
  • Keep warm in a 300 degree oven if not serving immediately.
  • ***Note: Felafel may be deep fried, but use a standard vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil which does not have a high heat tolerance.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my falafel turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These falafel were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

These falafel are a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I usually have a can of chickpeas in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can make with them.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touch. I usually add some chopped jalapeƱos for a bit of spice.

I followed the recipe exactly and the falafel turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These falafel were delicious! I served them with tahini sauce, hummus, and pita bread, and they were a huge hit.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe since I'm not a fan of cilantro, but I'm so glad I did. The cilantro added a nice freshness to the falafel without being overpowering.
