Ingredients:
For the Falafel balls:
2 ½ cups pf chick peas
5 garlic cloves
1 medium onion
1/3 cup of cilantro
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
half cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Vegetable oil for frying
Salt.
For the tahini sauce:
1 cup of tahini paste
1 cup of water
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
5 minced garlic cloves.
Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Toppings:
tomatoes
salty pickles
chopped Italian parsley.
For the pocket pita bread:
2 cups warm water
5 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Direction:
1- In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas and generously cover them with water, allowing
the legumes to soak overnight for optimal tenderness and flavor.
2- In a bowl Whisk together water, yeast , sugar and set aside for 10 minutes .
3- In a large bowl combine the yeast mixture , all purpose flour , baking powder , salt , vegetable oil and knead by hand or electric mixer until smooth , cover with a kitchen towel and set aside until doubles in size about 2 hours.
4- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, cilantro, garlic cloves, onion, cumin, and
coriander, then blend until smooth; transfer the mixture to a bowl, incorporate all-purpose
flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix by hand until it forms a dough-like
consistency.
5- Heat the vegetable oil in a pan, then take a spoonful of the falafel mixture, shape it into a
ball, and fry each ball for 3 minutes on each side, as falafel tends to float; once fried, drain
them from the oil and set aside.
6- Combine Tahini paste, water, salt, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to
create a creamy, tangy sauce that perfectly complements your falafel.
7- once the dough doubled in size, preheat the oven at 425 f. portion the dough into small balls,
Bake for about 10 minutes.
8- Falafel can be enjoyed in two delightful ways: served on a plate, beautifully arranged
with crispy falafel balls alongside fresh parsley, sliced tomatoes, and pickles,
complemented by a small bowl of creamy tahini sauce for dipping, or nestled within warm
pita bread pockets, overflowing with the same vibrant vegetables and drizzled with the rich
tahini sauce.
