Felafel

Ingredients

Grind together:

  • 2 C chickpeas Soak around a cup of dried chickpeas overnight to get 2 cups
  • .5 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • .25 C cilantro stems and leaves
  • 4 T hemp seeds

Add

  • 1 t cumin toasted and ground
  • .75 t coriander toasted and ground
  • 1 t kosher salt
  • .25 t cardomom
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 3 T garbanzo flour (or 1.5T wheat flour + 3T water)

Instructions

  • Grind the first group of ingredients in a meat grinder or food processor until it is finely chopped but not yet mush. It should hold together when pressed with no large pieces.
  • Add the second group of ingredients and mix with your hands until thick. Let sit for an hour to help aid cohesion.
  • Form into flat patties about the size of a large banana slice and fry in sunflower or other oil until toasty brown and cooked in the middle.

Notes

Notes: these are still too heavy from subbing the chickpea flour. Need to get them lighter...
