Our recipe for your delicious homemade falafel!🔝

Falafels are a Levantine culinary specialty (Levant region) consisting of ground beans and chickpeas mixed with various spices and fried in oil.

They can be eaten as a dish accompanied by pickled vegetables (cucumbers, pickled turnips, etc.), fresh vegetables (tomatoes) and the essential tarator sauce!

But also in a sandwich! With the same elements but in pita bread which is even better 😋

Let's start the recipe for 1kg of falafel, you will need:

• 1 kg of chickpeas

• 1 teaspoon of cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• Half a bunch of cilantro

• Thoroughly mix the onions, broad beans, garlic, coriander (in a bouquet) and chickpeas
• Once well ground (like a paste), add a large glass of water (a mug), 1 half spoon of sodium bicarbonate, the spices with salt and pepper and mix everything
