Never tried making your own falafel before? This vegan recipe is very easy and makes for a nice change to the usual Monday night dinner
Soak the chickpeas in plenty of water for 12 hours. Drain, discarding the water, cover with fresh water and let soak for another 12 hours. Drain, rinse well and let drain again for another 5 minutes.
It’s best to use a food processor fitted with an ?S? blade for blending the falafel mix, even though it can also be done in a good blender, in two batches. First blend the drained chickpeas; the texture should resemble coarse sand. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend until you get a paste. Cover with clingfilm and let sit in the fridge for 1 hour, or longer.Deep-fry the falafels in hot oil for 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Because we’re using soaked chickpeas, these falafels need to be deep-fried to make them digestible – baking them wouldn’t work.
Warm the pitta pockets, fill with vegetables of your choice, add falafel balls and serve with the tahini sauce. Yum!
