The Kjeldgaard Family's Falafels
Falafels are an excellent alternative to dishes where you would otherwise use meat. This could, for example, be in pita bread, pasta sauces, or on a salad like here.
Equipment
- Meat Mincer (Option 1)
- Food Processor (Option 2)
- Pot
Ingredients
- 400 gram Chickpeas Must be soaked
- 1 bunch Broad leaf parsley
- 2 bunches Parsley
- 2 pcs. Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 pcs. Chili Fresh
- 5 gram Cilantro Ground
- 10 gram Cumin Ground
- 18 gram Salt
- 2 pcs. Lemon The juice
- 4 tbsp Grate
- 3 pcs. Egg
- 1 l Frying Oil Or rapeseed oil
Instructions
- Important! Remember to soak the chickpeas in water overnight. If you use canned chickpeas, the mixture will be very soft and will not hold together.
- Use either a meat grinder or a food processor to mix the ingredients.
- 1. Put all the ingredients in the meat grinder or food processor (except the eggs and oil), and run until it comes together into a mass. It doesn't need to be very fine, but the chickpeas should preferably not be whole, as the mixture will then fall apart
- 2. Season with extra spices or lemon juice if you think it lacks a bit
- 3. Add the eggs and blend it with the mixture
- 4. Form into balls the size of golf balls
- 5. Put the oil in a small pot, and heat it to 170 degrees Celsius (338 degrees Fahrenheit)
- 6. Now carefully put 4-5 falafels in at a time and let them be in the oil for 3 minutes
- Now they are ready to be eaten in your favorite dish ? Store them in the fridge or freeze them for later use.
Notes
In the Food Contest, we made over 100 falafels for our pita bread and every single one was eaten. So we can almost guarantee that the whole family will like this recipe
