Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 25

1

(15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained

4

cloves garlic, roughly chopped

1

shallot, roughly chopped

2 tbsp.

freshly chopped parsley

1 tsp.

ground cumin

1 tsp.

ground coriander

3 tbsp.

all-purpose flour

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Vegetable oil, for frying

1/2 c.

Greek yogurt 

Juice of 1 lemon 

1 tbsp.

extra-virgin olive oil

1 tbsp.

freshly chopped dill

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 c.

tahini

1

garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp.

lemon juice

2 tbsp.

warm water (plus more as needed)

Kosher salt

Pitas

Chopped lettuce

Halved cherry tomatoes

Thinly sliced cucumbers

Steps:

  • In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine chickpeas, garlic, shallot, parsley, cumin, coriander, and flour and season with salt and pepper. Pulse until mixture is coarse and mealy—do not over blend! Form mixture into falafel balls about 2" in diameter, squeezing to compact. Transfer to chill in the refrigerator while oil heats. In a pot, heat 1” vegetable oil until a drop of water added to the oil sizzles and pops. Fry falafels until golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt. To make yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, oil, and dill. Season with salt and pepper. To make tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and warm water. Season with salt. (If you prefer a thinner sauce, whisk in more warm water 1 tablespoon at a time.) Serve falafels in pita with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber and drizzle with either sauce.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECTLY CRISPY FALAFEL - INSPIRED TASTE



How to Make Perfectly Crispy Falafel - Inspired Taste image

How to make delicious and crispy falafel at home rivaling your favorite restaurants. After lots of kitchen tests, this falafel recipe has become our favorite way to make falafel. The recipe is straightforward, 100% plant-based (vegan), and the falafel tastes incredible. In addition to the active prep and cook time, you will need to soak dried chickpeas overnight. This can be done a couple days in advance, simply drain and pat dry the soaked beans, and then store, covered in the fridge until ready to make the falafel mix. Note on using canned chickpeas or cooked chickpeas: Canned chickpeas are cooked chickpeas. After testing, we have determined that canned or cooked chickpeas do not work as a direct substitute for soaked dried beans in this recipe. The falafel will fall apart in the oil. Recipe adaptations for using canned chickpeas or cooked chickpeas are shared in the article above.

Total Time 8 hours 30 minutes

Prep Time 8 hours 20 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield Makes approximately 18 falafel, 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces (225 grams) dried chickpeas (1 heaping cup) *not canned chickpeas
1 bunch scallions (85 grams) scallions, trimmed (5 to 6), see notes
2 to 4 medium garlic cloves, depending on how much you like garlic
2 cups packed fresh cilantro, parsley, or mint leaves, we prefer to use a mixture of all three
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon baking powder, optional, see notes
2 to 3 cups (480 to 720ml) vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Rinse the dried chickpeas then place into a large bowl and cover with cool water by about 4 inches. Cover and soak overnight or until the beans triple in size. Drain the soaked chickpeas, rinse, and then pat dry or add to a salad spinner to spin dry.
  • Add chickpeas, scallions, garlic, herbs, salt, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cayenne, black pepper, and the baking powder to a bowl of a food processor. Pulse the mixture until very finely minced, but not pureed, scraping the bowl down as necessary. You should be able to press a handful together and have it hold it’s shape (it will be loose and a little crumbly). See our video and photos above for reference.
  • Transfer the falafel mix to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to help the balls hold together when cooking. If making ahead, you can refrigerate the mixture for a few days.
  • Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of the falafel mix then gently shape it into a ball and place onto a clean plate. Repeat with as many falafel as you plan to cook. The mix will not act like dough, but will hold its shape. Watch the video to see how we do this. Optional step: As an extra fail-safe for preventing the balls from falling apart when they hit the oil, rest the falafel balls in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes before cooking.
  • Add at least 3/4 inch of oil to a deep saucepan, cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. The smaller the pan, the less oil you will need. The wider the pan, the more falafel you can cook at one time).
  • Turn the heat to medium-high and heat the oil to between 350 degrees and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fry the falafel in batches, placing them gently into the oil and without crowding in the pan, until they are browned on the bottom sides. Using two forks, carefully flip the falafel to brown the other side, 3 1/2 minutes to 4 minutes total.
  • Transfer the cooked falafel to a plate lined with paper towel, sprinkle with a little salt, and then repeat with the remaining falafel balls. Serve immediately.
