How To Make Falafel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

15 ounces bare hummus
large garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons flour soft white wheat or 3 tablespoons gluten, free
1/4 cup grapeseed oil

Preparation

Once well incorporated transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in flour 1 Tbsp. at a time until the mixture is thick enough to handle - about 3-4 Tbsp.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Shape falafels.
Prepare a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add enough oil to more than cover the bottom of the pan. You want enough oil for cooking, turning and cooking some more until a golden brown crust forms on the outside of your Falafel. Remember to turn during cooking so they are evenly done.
Comfortably fit as many Falafels in the pan at a time to cook.
Check at the 1-2 minute mark to ensure they're not browning too quickly. If they are, slightly reduce heat. Flip once deep golden brown - about 3-4 minutes.
Cook until the underside is golden brown as well.
Serve immediately with hummus and paprika, or inside a pita or sandwich with garlic sauce, hummus, or fresh vegetables. Imagine it and you will love it!
Falafels will store in the fridge, layered with parchment or wax paper in an airtight container for several days. Freeze if you want them to keep longer.
