Vegetarian Chickpea Patties (Falafel)
Ingredients
- Cilantro - 1 bunch
- Chickpea - 1 cup
- Bulgur - 3 tablespoons
- Onion - 1 piece
- Garlic - 3 cloves
- Paprika - 1 tablespoon
- Turmeric - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - to taste
- Red Long Chili Peppers - to taste
- Toasted Cumin Seeds - ½ teaspoon
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Soak the chickpeas overnight (for at least 6 hours).
Step 2
Drain the water, pass the chickpeas through a meat grinder with a fine mesh twice (or use a blender), mixing them with bulgur (if you don't have bulgur, breadcrumbs from one slice of white bread will work).
Step 3
Add finely chopped onion (I sautéed it a bit in aromatic oil, see my recipes).
Step 4
Add the herbs and garlic.
Step 5
Crush the pepper, turmeric, and paprika with coarse salt, and knead the mixture well.
Step 6
Roll the mixture into small balls with your palms, slightly flatten them, and fry in hot oil at 392°F until golden brown (although I don't like too much oil — I fried them this way).
Step 7
Serve in pita (Arabic flatbread) or lavash: spread sauce inside, add a lettuce leaf, onion rings, tomato slices, cucumbers, and 4-5 falafels.
