Falafel

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

2. 2

   Pulse the chickpeas, onion, garlic, herbs, spices, salt, and baking soda in a food processor until a coarse, green-flecked meal forms.

3. 3

   Transfer to a bowl, cover, and chill 30 minutes so the mixture firms up.

4. 4

   Form into small patties or balls and fry in 175°C / 350°F oil for 3–4 minutes until deeply golden.

5. 5

   Drain on a rack and serve in pita with tahini, salad, and pickles.
