Falafel With Tahini Sauce
- 2 cans chickpeas 14 oz each, drained, liquid reserved
- 8 green onions trimmed and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs dry white
- vegetable oil for deep frying
- 6 pita breads warmed
- mixed salad
- sauce
- lemon wedges
- Place the drained chickpeas and 3 tbsp of the reserved liquid in a food processor; process until almost smooth. Add the onions, cilantro, parsley, garlic, egg, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and baking powder; process until combined. Add breadcrumbs; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
- Divide mixture into 18 pieces; roll into balls. Flatten into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Set aside for 15 mins to firm.
- Half-fill a deep skillet with oil. Heat on medium heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread browns in 1 min). Deep-fry falafel, in batches, for 6-7 mins until well browned. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Keep warm.
- Fill pita with falafel and salad. Serve with tahini sauce and lemon wedges.
