Falafel Patties

24/6/2020

1 Comment

 
I have called these Falafel Patties, as they are a slight variation on the traditional Middle Eastern Falafel. I was eager to use the fresh ajmo (carraway) growing in my garden, so I added this along with some cannelini beans for a creamier texture.

This recipe makes at least 20 falafel...and we finished the whole lot in one lunchtime! Try it - you will love them.
Picture
Recipe (approximately 20 falafel):
1 can chickpeas, drained (save the aquafaba for another recipe!)
1 can cannelini beans, drained
1 medium red onion, very finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh ajmo
1 tbsp chopped dhana 
1 tsp jeeru 
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp paprika
4 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil + extra for cooking

Method:
  1. Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  2. Using either a food processor or a potato masher, blend together - being careful to keep the mixture coarse, and not entirely smooth
  3. Take 1tbsp mixture, roll into a ball and then flatten gently to create a pattie
    Repeat for the remaining mixture
  4. Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and add 1tbsp oil
  5. Place the patties in (I could fit 7 in my pan) and brush the top side with oil
  6. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, and flip over. Cook for a further 3 minutes and remove
  7. Repeat until all of the patties have been cooked
  8. Serve with pitta bread and a tomato salsa or hummous

Tips:
  • To make the process more efficient, I oiled my chopping board and took 1 tbsp of mixture at a time and plonked it onto the board until the mixture was all used up. Then I oiled my hands and shaped each pattie, ready for cooking
  • You can bake these instead of frying; place on an oiled baking sheet and brush the tops of the falafel with oil. Place in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 180c for approximately 20 minutes, turning half-way through. Remove when they are golden brown
  • These store well in the fridge for up to 3 days, or you can freeze then once they have cooled for up to 1 month
  • I had a few inside a pitta bread with salad and hummous. But then they were so moreish that I had a few (or maybe lots) just on their own!
  • The fresh ajmo and dhana make these falafel taste absolutely delicious. If you don't have these herbs, then you can use parsley for a more traditional falafel taste
