Falafel

Prep: 20 mins

Cook: 10 mins

Additional: 12 hrs

Total: 12 hrs 30 mins

Servings: 6

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup dry garbanzo beans

½ yellow onion, diced

½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf

parsley

4 cloves minced garlic

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or

more as needed

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1½ teaspoons salt, or to taste

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground coriander

¼ teaspoon baking soda

teaspoon cayenne pepper

oil for frying

Step 1

Place garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 12 to 24 hours. Drain.

Step 2

Blend garbanzo beans, onion, parsley, garlic, flour, lemon juice, salt, cumin, coriander, baking soda, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until mixture is finely ground and holds together when pressed. Transfer garbanzo mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors blend, 1 to 2 hours.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Divide dough into 12 portions and roll each with moistened hands into a ball.

Step 5

Working in batches, cook falafel balls in hot oil until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
