Falafel

You already know that we love international recipes and this, typical of the Middle East (especially Egypt) is one of our favorites. It can be tasted as it is or accompanied by pita bread, lettuce, tomato and yoghurt sauce. It's delicious!

Ingredients for 2 people:

- 9 oz of chickpeas

- 1/2 onion

- Fresh parsley

- Fresh coriander

- 1 large clove of garlic

- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin

- Breadcrumbs

- 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate

- Salt

- Black pepper

- Olive oil

Recipe:

- Soak the chickpeas in a bowl with water the night before.

- The next day, grind directly (uncooked) with a chopper or blender.

- Also chop the peeled onion, a small bouquet of parsley, another of coriander and a splash of water.

- Add a little salt, the ground cumin, a pinch of black pepper, the bicarbonate and mix everything well.

- Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes so that later it is easier to handle.

- If at the time of handling the dough is very wet, add a little breadcrumbs to be able to handle them better.

- Form with the dough balls and crush them a bit as if you were mini burgers.

- Fry the falafel in a saucepan with plenty of very hot olive oil until golden.

Bon appétit!
