FALAFEL
Serve with pita bread, hummus, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and onions.
Makes 8 falafel
1. Drain the soaked garbanzo beans. Put the drained
beans into the large work bowl fitted with the large
chopping blade. Pulse to break up and then process
on High until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the
garlic, onion, salt, pepper, cumin and coriander to the
beans and process until the vegetables are finely
chopped. Pulse in the parsley.
2. Dissolve the baking soda in the water and reserve.
With the machine running on High, add the baking
soda and water and continue to process until the
falafel batter is smooth.
3. Form patties into 8 balls. Place the falafel balls on a
tray or plate lined with wax paper and chill in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. Fry falafel in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or in a
deep fryer, with oil registering 375ºF. Falafel should
be deeply and evenly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately.
