Falafel Bowl

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cups dry chickpeas

  soaked for at least 12 hours
• 3 cloves garlic
• ⅓ cup chickpea flour
• ¼ cup fresh parsley
• 2 cups green leaves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• ⅓ cup oil

  for frying
• ½ red onion

  or 1 whole onion if it's small
• ¼ tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

• 1 Add chopped onion, garlic cloves, and parsley to a food processor.
• 2 Pulse a few times.
• 3 Add previously soaked and drained chickpeas, cumin, salt, and ground pepper.
• 4 Blend until the mixture has a granulated texture.
• 5 Transfer mixture to a bowl and add chickpea flour. Stir well and let it rest for
  5 minutes. After that, you should be able to form the falafel into balls. Add
  one more tablespoon of chickpea flour if needed, then let the mixture rest for
  another 5 minutes before forming balls.
• 6 Pressing very well with your hands, roll falafel mixture into 14–16 falafels.
  Its easier to make them one by one and then fry them at the same time.
• 7 Add olive oil to a heated skillet and fry falafels. Roll them over when they get
  brownish on one side to make sure both sides get equally fried.
• 8 Place fried falafels on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
• 9 Assemble bowl with green leaves, cherry tomatoes, fresh falafels, and tahini
  sauce.
