Recipe Vickys Falafels

Ingredients :

• 180 grams dried chickpeas, soaked 6 hours in water then patted dry
• 1/2 white onion, chopped
• 3 clove garlic, peeled
• 1 small handful fresh parsley
• 1 small handful fresh coriander leaf / cilantro
• 2 tbsp gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 3/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
• 1/2 tsp low-sodium salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• drizzle of lemon juice

Method :

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender / food processor and pulse, scraping the sides down as needed until it forms a kind of dough
2. Divide the dough into 8 and roll into balls then flatten them slightly
3. Pour 3 inches of oil into a frying pan so that it would come halfway up the falafels but don"t put them in yet
4. Heat the oil on a medium heat. Test that it"s hot enough by dropping in a small piece of falafel dough. If it sinks the oil isn"t hot enough. It should sizzle then float if it"s the right temperature, around 190C / 375F
5. Place the falafels carefully 4 at a time in the hot oil and fry until browned, then turn and brown the other side. Around 3 - 5 minutes each side
6. Drain on kitchen paper before serving with pitta bread, hummus, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes
7. I have a couple of free-from hummus recipes posted if you"re interested and 1 has no tahini / sesame seeds and I also have a gluten-free pitta posted
