Instructions

1

Drain the soaked chickpeas and pat them dry. Add them to a food processor along with onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking soda, salt, and pepper.

2

Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse paste. Be careful not to over-process; it should still have some texture.

3

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4

Shape the mixture into small patties or balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

5

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

6

Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of mixed greens, then add cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Place falafel on top and add a generous scoop of hummus.

7

Drizzle with tahini sauce and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Chef's Tips

  • Soaking Chickpeas: Use dried chickpeas instead of canned for the best texture. Soak them overnight for at least 12 hours.
  • Frying Tip: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding falafel to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Baking Option: For a healthier version, bake falafel at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the falafel mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Storage: Store leftover falafel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
