Cook Like a Pro: Easily Make Delicious Falafel at Home!
Falafel with Chickpeas and Spices
Ingredients:
– 2 cups of cooked chickpeas
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon of cumin
– 1 teaspoon of coriander
– 1 teaspoon of baking powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for fryingAs a stay at home parent, I love to find new creative recipes to make for my family. One of our favorite dishes is falafel with chickpeas and spices. This dish is a delicious Mediterranean street food that is not only easy to make but also filled with healthy ingredients. It’s a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen as they can help roll the falafel into balls and then watch them fry. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cooked chickpeas and it’s also a great way to sneak in some vegetables for picky eaters.
To start, gather all the ingredients. Begin by draining and rinsing the cooked chickpeas in a colander. Place them in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork until they are mashed but still have some texture. Add in the onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined. Then form the mixture into small balls using your hands or a spoon and set aside on a plate.
Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s hot enough for frying. Gently place the falafel balls into the hot oil making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry them until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Once they’re done cooking, remove them from the skillet onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dip such as hummus or tahini sauce.
I have fond memories of eating falafel with my family growing up in Egypt. My mother made it often since it was inexpensive yet filling and very flavorful at the same time. She would serve it as an appetizer or as part of a main dish topped with tahini sauce or yogurt sauce along with some fresh vegetables on the side such as tomatoes and cucumbers. The aroma of fried falafel still takes me back home every time I make it here in my kitchen. It’s definitely one of my favorite childhood memories that I now get to share with my own family here in America!
Falafel with chickpeas and spices is an easy yet delicious Mediterranean dish that can be enjoyed by all ages! Not only is it healthy but also very flavorful due to its unique combination of spices and herbs used in its preparation. Whether you serve it as an appetizer or part of your main meal, its sure to be loved by everyone at your dinner table!
