This never-fail chickpea salad recipe is fast and healthy and goes well with eggs, toast, or greens. This week: the chickpea salad that assistant video producer Tommy Werner just couldn't live And that means you're going to transform a humble can of chickpeas into a tasty, no-fail dinner that you'll. Falafel made with canned chickpeas - just like the ones you taste in a Greek restaurant. Serve with hummus or tzatziki sauce.
Instructions to make No-fail Chickpea Falafel:
- Rinse and soak chick peas over night. After soaking, drain VERY well.
- Get your stuff ready: mix up spices and chop onion, garlic and herbs.
- Combine chickpeas with all ingredients in a bowl (except frying oil of course).
- Using a food processor, blend the mixture in small batches. I found doing it small batches helps keep the mixture evenly ground.
- Grind into a rough meal, but be careful not to turn it into a paste. It should be some what coarse like big grains of sands ;) Cover and let chill in refrigerator for an hour or two if time allows.
- The mixture should hold together enough to form round balls using your hands, though it might be slightly loose. If it doesn't stick together at all, mix in a little more flour until it does. Form 7-8 falafel balls. If possible, wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Pour in about 1.5 in/3 cm oil in a frying pan or pot. Heat on medium until hot enough to fry (about 325°F/170°C).
- Test one falafel to make sure it doesn't fall apart by setting it in center of hot oil. It might be loose at first but hold together a few seconds after frying. If it starts to really disintegrate, you may need to blend the mixture into a finer texture. If that doesn't work, add more flour.
- The first side should be brown after 2-3 minutes (if it browns faster, turn the heat down on the oil slightly.
- If all goes well, you can start frying the rest of the falafel! Again, 2-3 minutes on the first side, then GENTLY turn over and fry other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Fry another 2-3 minutes on the next side.
- Remove from oil. Let excess oil drain and give a couple minutes to cool.
- Insides will look like this!
- Pile up and serve in pita bread, tzaziki sauce, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, etc. In the unlikely event of leftovers, reheat in a hot oven for 10 minutes or so :)
The falafel tastes good in a sandwich or solo treats! During this quarantine, I only had canned chickpeas so this recipe was PERFECT! I want falafel tonight and I do not have any soaked chickpeas, so. Can this method be used for preparing falafel? (do the quick soak, skip the cooking part and grind/chop in the food processor and proceed as usual). Since I've started following Russ Parson's no-soak method, I haven't had a fail.
