Falafel

Ingredients:

1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cumin 

1 tsp coriander 

1/2 white onion, diced 

3 cloves garlic

1/4 bunch parsley

1/4 bunch mint 

1/4 bunch cilantro 

1 1/2 tbsp AP flour 

2″ of oil for frying 

Method:

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until a smooth paste is formed.  In your KitchenHQ 4.5Q Cast-Iron Fryer, heat a neutral oil (vegetable or canola) to 350 degrees, and make sure there’s enough to come up about 2″ high.  Next, use your KitchenHQ ice-cream scoops to form 18 – 20 even balls.  Drop the falafel balls into the oil and fry for 4 – 6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.   Serve with hummus, pita bread, tomatoes, lettuce, tahini, and hot sauce.  Enjoy!
