These homemade falafel are a delightful and flavorful treat, perfect for a quick snack or a satisfying meal. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The key is to soak the dried chickpeas overnight to achieve the perfect texture. The blend of fresh parsley, garlic, and spices creates a wonderful aroma and taste. These falafel are naturally vegan and gluten-free, making them a great option for various dietary needs. Serve them in pita bread with your favorite toppings or enjoy them as a side dish. They're especially delicious with a dollop of tahini sauce!

Preparation (6 steps)

Soak Chickpeas

Place 1 cup of dry garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water. Let stand for 12 to 24 hours. Drain well before proceeding.

Combine Ingredients

Add the drained chickpeas, ½ yellow onion (diced), ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the Thermomix bowl.

Grind Falafel Mixture

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 8

Process the mixture in the Thermomix until finely ground and it holds together when pressed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Set the Thermomix to 20 Sec./Stufe 8.

Chill the Mixture

Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.

Form Falafel Balls

Divide the falafel mixture into 12 portions and roll each with moistened hands to form a ball.

Fry Falafel

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Working in batches, cook falafel balls in hot oil until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
