Love the recipe! The roasted garlic 👌 is a must try, and btw we use kale with the cilantro and parsley - though spinach is a great suggestion! Though our food processor broke last month, so it'll have to wait 😢. Anywho, great recipe as always! Keep it fresh, keep it Vegan ✌️
I just made my second batch of falafels ever and these came out AMAZING! Thanks so much for the easy recipe and tips - I followed your refrigeration rule and it made a great difference. I opted to bake them, instead of frying. Little olive oil spray and done! Absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside - my husband and I devoured 6 instantly 😂 Thanks again Andrew. Best ever.
I really appreciate the falafel recipe, which is like heaven. I’m a garlic lover as well and will have to try the roasted and raw garlic combo. Sounds amazing.
In Egypt they use Split fava beans, it tastes much better. I love the one made with chickpeas too and make it at home since it's not easy getting split fava beans.
I am a falafel enthusiast. I highly recommend using split fava beans instead of chick peas. Thats how they do it in Egypt. In my opinion its the superior version of falafel.
@@dilach41 we've tried them fresh and they break up as soon as they hit the oil, I was wondering if it is to do with the moisture in fresh beans as opposed to dried and rehydrated beans
I love how you give so many options.....will make them fried one day, but for now, baked or air fried is how I have to go. I don't think there will be anything lost in the flavour!
Holy cow when that food processor kicked in! Woke me right up. Thanks for this. I love the recipe, filming, commentary, everything. Especially the mini whisk. That hits home.
You had me at falafel - always looking out for new and different recipes. And this was both and it had a ton of garlic, which I love. Twelve hour lead time - no problem. On the menu this week. Think I'll even deep-fry this time, which I never do.
When I make falafel I always use dry one because i think they become more crispy, from the can they're muddy when frying. In the water I also put half of lemon juice to activate the bicarbonate and let the chickpeas rest for 12 hours ...after a good cleaning and boiling I put in my chickpeas mixture some sesame seeds !!!! Your recipe is very good, thank you for sharing 😇🙏, be safe.
I will be making these soon. I love your videos ❤❤❤I’m not vegan but my husband has been plant based for awhile and your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you.
I make a batch of falafel AT LEAST twice a month for lunch prep. I would do it all month if I was prepping for myself alone and not the whole family!! I love how you incorporated the garlic flavors - will definitely do this next time!!!
The first time I made falafel I used canned chick peas and they were good. I baked them. Second time - not so good. I can't wait to try this recipe!! Thank you and love your channel!
While not vegan or vegetarian, I love good vegetarian food. This is a fantastically easy recipe that gives a lot of room to play around! I may have to try this with a little mint and black garlic...
YAAAS!!!!!! I tried a "quick" falefal recipe once, which called for canned chickpeas. (Have you ever tried to fry baby food?) You've given me the confidence to put that disaster behind.
❤I love the way you prepared the Garlic, and soaked the garbanzos. DELICIOUS, GREAT idea to add cilantro and dill weed. It is my favorite meal. Thanks a MILLION 💕
I'm so glad I found your recipe. I was just talking about it and pow, your video was there. Just like magic! I love how you present the recipes and the science behind it!.
Yeah... Legit AF... Second time making this recipe. First time I didnt blend enough resulting in somewhat brutal toilet time. Blend it! More than you think!! Really, really good done correctly, amazing! thanks bro! I added some spring onions, and twice the garlic, perfection!
I cant wait to try this. I havent had falafl in so long and i dont live in the same state as my medaterian import where i use to get a couple pitas stuffed with em and baklava for lunch a few times a month..... Back in 07.
"Use dried chickpeas. This is not a birthday card. This is not a choice." ❤ And I can't wait to make this. Especially when arugula came up as optional throw in. Arugula is life.
Garam masala and dill these are some very unusual flavours for falafel! Kind of fusion cuisine I suppose, I prefer traditional falafel personally, Yemeni style with some cardamom
These look amazing! Definitely more and different spices and herbs than I’ve used in past recipes. Putting them on schedule for this week I think. I’d make them today…but no chickpeas soaked. 😂 Thanks 🙏🏻
I love your presentation and especially your explanation with that added personal touch. Did you learn your skills in the kitchen from your mom? Your attention to detail everything from the slicing of onions for example. I’ve heard the way you slice onions changes depending on the dishes. I just discovered your site and I must say your presentation give a different nuance, especially as a melanated chef. I have subscribed to another channel for several months, he is also AA and recipes are free of flour, oils, and some of the usuals. Vegan recipes.
I just use a falafel scoop to portion the batter directly into the oil -- you can make a looser, wetter mixture and get crunchier, lacier falafel. you don't want to pre-shape them; just scoop a looser batter right into the oil. as long as it's not TOO wet (less liquid than pancake batter) and the temp is right (350 F is good), the shell will form right away around the falafel and it'll form flattish balls that won't fall apart. the advantages of the classic falafel scoop are twofold, IMO -- 1) you can briefly dunk the top of the ball in sesame seeds before frying (delicious) and 2) it has a little lever to dislodge the batter from the scoop. you can definitely use a slightly wetter dough and get crunchier falafels if you play with that, but this method will work super-well for people who are new to falafel, or anyone who just wants a slightly easier method. they're still gonna be delicious. I put my baking powder (I use powder, not soda, because there's no acid in my recipe to produce leavening with the alkaline soda, as opposed to baking powder which has both components) directly in my batter recipe rather than when soaking falafel, so that I know exactly how much is going in. I love the combo of herbs you added! lots of herbs are good -- I think falafel should be distinctly green. I use parsely, cilantro, mint and sometimes dill, and I use tons.
👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 5 ⭐️ it’s looks delicious! Definitely will be trying this! And Thanks for the idea on adding raw & roasted garlic ❤ I love garlic..I put it in EVERYTHING! Except sweets 😊
Goodafternoon andrew i will be making the falafel's you had me at all the garlic and the onions 😂i put both in every thing i make😊you never disappoint me 😅have a good rest of your day ❤until next time😊
I produce music & love to cook. You just gave me the realization that adding roasted & raw garlic to a dish is like parallel compressing the garlic😂 I hope that makes sense to a few others in the comments
Great recipe! but you forgot to add the 11l2 cup chopped walnuts to the processed mash at the end. It adds a flavorful crunch I really like and others might like, too.
This looks like an amazing recipe! Got to try it! Whole head of garlic, yay! Have you ever tried freezing them? You have any preference of freezing them before cooking or after? I have Frozen them before cooking in the past and find that they fall apart. Any solution you can suggest?
Very cool recipes👍 thank you! If you ever consider trying a portuguese dish, try "migas de couve galega" meaning bread mash with collard greens. It's a traditional accompaniment of meats but it's actually great on its own or with tofu/seitan! It is also a good way to use up stale bread. Let me know if you want my family recipe 😉
Never use the ready grounded spices. But, wash your favourite spices very well, leave them to dry for some minutes, or dry them on a warm pan, and then ground them by yourself, or use them as a whole spices if you haven’t got grinder.
Beware There are some of non-vegan spices types are being nourished by the non-vegan products like the blood bones and etc., which can be found in the markets now, and which are could able to cause the inflammations and some more of the diseases. However, make sure to find, investigate, and examine the products as much as possible you can before you consume them.
This is why I don't make falafel!!! The same reason I don't make bread. Love them both but am so impatient. So... I shared the recipe and video to a friend who I know would enjoy making this for me :). That way we can have dinner together. All I have to do is show up with a smile and a bottle of wine! What did you do with the oil you roasted that garlic in? We are approaching Spooky Season. Vampire repellent? Stay amazing..... PEEEEEAAAAAAAACE!
😂 certainly a phenomenal vamp repellent but also too good to use on them!! used it to smooth out a tomato soup and to sauteed some onions the next day. Delicious 🤗
My biggest concern is about fully cooking the chickpeas. I have had (mild) food poisoning from undercooked beans before (to be fair, they were kidney beans) but it is a constant thought whenever I see to not cook them before hand, now.
what do you think about the falafel recipe 😊
It’s one of the best I’ve seen on this app :)
Onto the menu they go. Can't wait to try it.
Love the recipe! The roasted garlic 👌 is a must try, and btw we use kale with the cilantro and parsley - though spinach is a great suggestion! Though our food processor broke last month, so it'll have to wait 😢. Anywho, great recipe as always! Keep it fresh, keep it Vegan ✌️

🙌🏾🙌🏾
Around the whole world! Greetings from Germany, preparing these falafels right now, cant wait to eat
@@lebkuchenmann2000 🤗 so how did it go
Ty for going over some finer points of making it. The talk about texture helped me fine tune my recipe more for a better outcome
I really appreciate the falafel recipe, which is like heaven. I’m a garlic lover as well and will have to try the roasted and raw garlic combo. Sounds amazing.
I lived in Egypt for 4 years. I absolutely LOVED falafel. Its hard to find in Florida where I live. So grateful for this homemade recipe!❤❤❤
🙌🏾❤️ thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏾

If you're looking for the Egyptian version Middleeats who are an Egyptian couple have an authentic recipe using the split fava beans.

What about fresh fava beans?

Andrew, thanks for talk afterwards. I made falafels recently and can see now how much they could have been improved.
Holy cow when that food processor kicked in! Woke me right up. Thanks for this. I love the recipe, filming, commentary, everything. Especially the mini whisk. That hits home.
A great way to present a cooking video. Creative and great music....of course, a great chef with a warm voice!
Garam masala!! I never thought of adding that before. and roasting that garlic…. brilliant!
I love the way you are teaching us! With visuals and easy super easy instructions and recipes. The food is fantastic!! 💗

Tried them. Loved them. They ARE the best falafels ever. Ever.
I’m making those. Love to cook since I was a little girl, but you have turned my whole life around.😍🤩🙏🏽
You don’t need a channel name change, but if you did, The Saga of Tiny Whisk gets my vote. 😊
You're right! The best tasting falafels ever. Terrific video. Love the background music. Keep the recipes coming.
The first time I made falafel I used canned chick peas and they were good. I baked them. Second time - not so good. I can't wait to try this recipe!! Thank you and love your channel!
Very well done, thank you for the attention you paid to the script, especially the justifications for all steps.
Thanks for giving me tomorrow night’s dinner idea. Will start the soaking tonight 😊
🙌🏾 Hope you enjoy
Omg I could eat falafel every single day!!! I love it & was in desperate need of a recipe!!!😮❤🎉TY SO MUCH
🙌🏾 you got it!!
While not vegan or vegetarian, I love good vegetarian food. This is a fantastically easy recipe that gives a lot of room to play around!
I may have to try this with a little mint and black garlic...
Never made these yet and I have been plant based almost two years! Definately will try yours!
falafels are so key to life! a must try! 🙌🏾
YAAAS!!!!!! I tried a "quick" falefal recipe once, which called for canned chickpeas. (Have you ever tried to fry baby food?) You've given me the confidence to put that disaster behind.

I cant wait to try this. I havent had falafl in so long and i dont live in the same state as my medaterian import where i use to get a couple pitas stuffed with em and baklava for lunch a few times a month..... Back in 07.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, as well as giving us helpful tips added for proper cooking instructions.
That platter was on point, man. You've inspired me to make this and a string of other meals. 🙏
I hate chickpeas but I love falafel and hummus... and I make both often. Great recipe!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ve all but given up on making decent falafel. Thanks for all the tips.
hope you get to enjoy soon!!
Finally!! The falafel. Here I missed it a few weeks ago. I kept checking back for it. Thank you ❤
I love falafel and have been wanting to make them for some time. THIS is the recipe that will finally get me to try it!! Thank you so much!!
Your videos are so visually pleasing. Thanks for making the effort 🙌🏽
"24 hours? thats like....5 days!"

😅 it was close! thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you, good job. I stand with the Palestinians.
Speaking about shape. I like waffle falafel shape. I cook mine is a waffle iron
Perfect timing, I have a ton of dried chickpeas that I wasn't sure what to do with & this looks so good!!
Beautifully filmed
Been needing to up my protein intake and this is a great recipe to use up my pantry staples. Thank you!!
"Use dried chickpeas. This is not a birthday card. This is not a choice." ❤ And I can't wait to make this. Especially when arugula came up as optional throw in. Arugula is life.

Never had it. I've grown up in the south and never heard of these until I started watching UA-cam 🤣 now I need to make them....🤷🏼♀️😉
Again, awesome recipe!
Question...
If I make a batch and freeze some of the mixture, do I freeze before I cook or after? Thanks in advance!
great question! you can do both. i recommend freezing after you cook though. this way you only need to do all your frying once. 🤗
Yum 😋 that roasted garlic made me happy ☺️
YES! its such a twist to the basic recipe!

I agree with you . I love falafel.
Little late watching this one. But I thoroughly enjoyed it as usual. Very different meal. But very appealing. 👌🏾
Im not vegan but I love me some veggies, but God damn falafels are GOD TIER!
Love them will try for sure.
I think I’m going to try and make it! 😃
im trying vegan recipes for pattys. have you tried shiro ethiopian stew? its amazing w dry chickpea flour. so smooth and vegan and homey
My biggest concern is about fully cooking the chickpeas. I have had (mild) food poisoning from undercooked beans before (to be fair, they were kidney beans) but it is a constant thought whenever I see to not cook them before hand, now.
Hands down best falafels I've had. My wife doesn't even like falafel and she asked for more 😂
Going to get these ingredients, because Aw Yeah Boy!!!
Have you ever use baked beans to make a falafel it's actually really good
really?? never. but i will now!
I am sooo hungry.. i love this. Thank you
