Time 32m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mash the garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Stir in the onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, turmeric, baking powder, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Do not be afraid to use your hands. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls; you should get 18 to 24. If the mixture does not hold together, add a little water.
  • Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, and fry until brown. If you do not have a deep fryer, heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to adjust the heat slightly after the first couple of falafels, and be sure to turn frequently so they brown evenly.

This recipe is too bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a success. The falafel freeze well, so I like to make a big batch and then freeze them for later.
