Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 g chickpeas
  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • 50 g fresh parsley or fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoon ground caraway
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  1. Before you start this recipe soak your chickpeas in water for at least 12 hours and drain the liquid the following day. You can skip the wait, if you use canned chickpeas.
  2. Blend all your ingredients together into a paste. The mix shouldn’t feel wet and if it does add some flour to it.
  3. Form little balls from the mix, which depends what size you like. I use 1 1/2 teaspoon mix and form it into a ball. If the mix sticks to your hand wet your hand.
  4. In a frying pan heat the oil until it is hot. Depending on the size of your pan fry 5-10 falafel for 3 minutes. Turn them half way.
  5. Serve hot or freeze them for up to 1 month.
