AUTHENTIC FALAFELS

These falafels are the closest thing to NYC street vendor falafels! Made the traditional way with dried soaked chickpeas! Great on a pita with lettuce, cucumber and yogurt. Asafoetida is usually found in Middle Eastern or Indian food stores. If you prefer, you can use 2 to 3 garlic cloves and 1 small chopped onion instead. This is a great base recipe, customize it to your own tastes.

Steps:

  • Throw the onion and garlic (peeled!) in a food processor until they're chopped.
  • Drain chickpeas and give them a wash, then add them to food processor. Pulse until mashed -- but not to mushy!
  • Scrape the onion/garlic/chickpeas mix into a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients.
  • Mix until completly blended.
  • The mix should be thick but not too stiff.
  • Grease a non-stick pan and drop mixture in tablespoon sized 'blobs' into the pan.
  • Cook on each side for a few minutes -- until browned and slightly crunchy- then flip.
  • Continue until all mix is cooked.
  • ENJOY!
  • P.S: the final product will be a bit crumbly but it doesn't matter -- they're so delicious!

  • Place chickpeas in a large bowl and fill with water to cover them to a depth of 3 inches. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave on counter for 24 hours. The chickpeas will triple in size and absorb quite a bit of the water so check a few times during soaking to see if you need to add more water.Once the beans have soaked for 24 hours, drain and rinse well.
  • Place the cumin and coriander seeds in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and set over medium high heat. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the seeds give off an aroma and just begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the toasted spices to a spice grinder and process until finely ground. Set aside.
  • Place the drained chickpeas, ground spices, garlic, onion, cilantro, and parsley into a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine then feed through the meat grinder in small batches until everything has been ground.
  • Mix the lemon zest, cayenne, salt, and black pepper into the ground chickpeas then roll a small amount of the mixture into a walnut sized ball or a small patty with your hands. The mixture should hold together nicely and not fall apart.

  • Place the garbanzo beans in a large bowl, cover them with 3 inches of water, cover and let them soak for 20-24 hours (they will expand to about 5 cups). Note: If the don't soak long enough the falafel will be crumbly and fall apart. Rinse and drain.
  • Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and dry roast the whole cumin and whole coriander seeds just until they become very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch or burn them or they will be bitter. Once fully cooled grind them in a coffee/spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  • Place the ground spices with all the falafel ingredients in a large food processor and pulse the ingredients until well ground but but not a smooth paste, it should be chunky (over-pulsing it will cause the falafel to fall apart). Refrigerate for at least one hour (this mixture can be prepared well in advance).
  • Form the falafels into roughly the size of golf balls. You'll need to compress the mixture together firmly and carefully transfer the balls to a plate until ready to use. (Keep in mind, they won't have the texture of dough or hold together like dough. They'll be pretty loose and delicate but will hold together once they're fried.)Fill a heavy skillet about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep with oil.The temperature of the oil is key for frying falafel. They need to start sizzling immediately upon impact so they don't become oil-logged and fall apart, but you also don't want them to burn. I recommend using an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature. Aim for a temperature between 360 and 375 degrees F.Once the oil is up to temperature, carefully place the falafel in the pan, a few at a time (don't overcrowd), leaving adequate space between them so they brown properly. (We recommend you try it with one falafel first to make sure the temperature is right.) Fry the falafel until a deep golden
