Falafel Recipe

Falafel Recipe

Falafel is the famous chickpeas patties of Lebanese cuisine. It is actually a street food. They are generally served wrapped in lavash.

You can prepare the falafel patties round or flat. I recommend you to heat the oil in a narrow saucepan, not in a wide pan, so that it is easy to cook when you make a round. In this way, the falafels will be buried in the oil and will not loose their shapes.

In treaditional falafel recipe the chickpeas are just soaked in water overnight, they are not boiled. But if you don't have time ypu can just boil unsoaked chikpeas for 10 mins. in a pressure cooker. It is very important that the chickpeas are not overcooked so that they do not scatter. In addition, you need to knead the mixture very well. You should knead the mixture like çiğ köfte. The oil must be very well heated, otherwise it will both absorb a lot of oil and dissolve. The falafels should start to cook as soon as they get into the oil.

Falafel goes well with sauces such as hot pepper sauce, mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise and hibeş.
