作り方
手順
- 1
Drain the soaked chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
約5 分
調理のヒント: Ensure chickpeas are very dry; excess moisture can make falafel mushy.
- 2
Combine the drained chickpeas, yellow onion, garlic, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
約5 分
- 3
Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse meal, scraping down the sides as needed. Do not over-process; it should not be a smooth paste.
約2 分
調理のヒント: A slightly chunky texture helps with a crispier falafel.
- 4
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the baking powder and all-purpose flour until just combined.
約2 分
調理のヒント: The flour and baking powder help bind the falafel and make them fluffy.
- 5
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the falafel mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
約1 時間
調理のヒント: This resting period is crucial for falafel that holds its shape and doesn't crumble during frying.
- 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
約5 分
調理のヒント: Use a deep-fry thermometer for accurate temperature control. Too low, and falafel will be greasy; too high, and they'll burn outside and be raw inside.
- 7
While the oil heats, form the falafel mixture into small balls or patties, about 3-4 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter.
約5 分
調理のヒント: Use a falafel scoop if you have one, or shape them by hand.
- 8
Carefully place a few falafel bites into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Frying in batches maintains the oil temperature and ensures even cooking.
- 9
Fry the falafel for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
約5 分
調理のヒント: They should be uniformly deep golden brown.
- 10
Remove the cooked falafel with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Draining on a wire rack prevents sogginess.
- 11
Repeat with the remaining falafel mixture, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain the oil temperature.
約15 分
- 12
Serve the falafel bites warm with your favorite accompaniments like tahini sauce, pita bread, or a fresh salad.
