VEGAN-FRIENDLY FALAFEL
This is an easy vegan falafel using dried garbanzo beans and ingredients you already have in your cupboard. No eggs or bread crumbs either as filler--just tasty falafel! Serve with tzatziki and typical falafel fare such as lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. It's not much more work than using canned beans, but the taste is phenomenal and authentic.

Steps:
- Rinse the garbanzo beans under cold water and discard any bad ones. Place in a large pot, and cover with water. Let soak 24 hours, and rinse again.
- Place the garbanzo beans, onion, and potato in the bowl of a food processor. Cover, and process until finely chopped. Leaving about 1 cup of the garbanzo bean mixture in the food processor bowl, pour the rest into a mixing bowl. Add the garlic, cilantro, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to the garbanzo bean mixture in the food processor bowl; process on low to blend thoroughly. Return the reserved garbanzo bean mixture to the food processor bowl, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and flour; process on low into a coarse meal. Cover, and refrigerate 2 hours.
- Stir the baking soda into the garbanzo bean mixture until evenly blended. Using damp hands, form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch diameter balls.
- Pour the canola oil into a wok 1 to 2 inches deep, and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the falafel balls, turning so all sides are evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove falafel from oil, and drain on paper towels. Repeat to cook remaining falafel balls.

REAL FALAFEL (VEGAN)
From someone who works in a Lebanese restaurant. Falafel is the best, especially when served with tahini, hummus, on a salad, with pita, etc. If you do not have a grinder, use a blender.

Steps:
- Soak the peas and beans overnight but do not cook if you have a grinder.
- Grind the peas and beans, adding the chopped peppers, onion, cleaned parsley, and garlic (to taste).
- At the same time, mix in the pita bread to the grind (it binds the falafel).
- After all the beans and veggies are ground, you will need to get your hands in the mix and blend it all up evenly.
- You can then add cumin and coriander, pepper and salt to taste.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop and form little patties, which you can arrange on a baking sheet.
- Once the sheet is full, you should freeze the patties. So they are easy to deep fry (the best way to do it, and they keep for a long time).
- Use an oil that heats well, such as canola, and get it good and hot before you cook.
- When you are ready, add some frozen falafels, but not so many that the oil cools.
- You want them to crisp on the outside instantly and not absorb oil.
- When the falafels float to the top of the oil, they should be done.

- Add chickpeas, parsley, shallot, garlic, sesame seeds, cumin, salt, pepper (and coriander and cardamom if using) to a food processor or blender and mix/pulse to combine, scraping down sides as needed until thoroughly combined. You’re looking for a crumbly dough, not a paste (see photo).
- Add flour 1 Tbsp (~8 g) at a time and pulse/mix to combine until no longer wet and you can mold the dough into a ball without it sticking to your hands - I used 4 Tbsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added a bit more salt, pepper, and a dash of cardamom and coriander. You want the flavor to be pretty bold, so don’t be shy.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up. If you’re in a hurry you can chill in the freezer for 45 minutes or skip this step - but they will be a little more fragile when cooking.

- Place the garbanzo beans in a large bowl, cover them with 3 inches of water, cover and let them soak for 20-24 hours (they will expand to about 5 cups). Note: If the don't soak long enough the falafel will be crumbly and fall apart. Rinse and drain.
- Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and dry roast the whole cumin and whole coriander seeds just until they become very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch or burn them or they will be bitter. Once fully cooled grind them in a coffee/spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- Place the ground spices with all the falafel ingredients in a large food processor and pulse the ingredients until well ground but but not a smooth paste, it should be chunky (over-pulsing it will cause the falafel to fall apart). Refrigerate for at least one hour (this mixture can be prepared well in advance).
- Form the falafels into roughly the size of golf balls. You'll need to compress the mixture together firmly and carefully transfer the balls to a plate until ready to use. (Keep in mind, they won't have the texture of dough or hold together like dough. They'll be pretty loose and delicate but will hold together once they're fried.)Fill a heavy skillet about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep with oil.The temperature of the oil is key for frying falafel. They need to start sizzling immediately upon impact so they don't become oil-logged and fall apart, but you also don't want them to burn. I recommend using an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature. Aim for a temperature between 360 and 375 degrees F.Once the oil is up to temperature, carefully place the falafel in the pan, a few at a time (don't overcrowd), leaving adequate space between them so they brown properly. (We recommend you try it with one falafel first to make sure the temperature is right.) Fry the falafel until a deep golden

- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with a substantial amount of water, soak for 12-24 hours. The chickpeas are going to double or triple in size as they absorb the water, so make sure they have adequate room and water to do so.
- When you’re ready to make the falafel, drain the chickpeas and add 1.5 cups of the soaked chickpeas to a food processor.
- Add the onion to the food processor and pulse several times until the chickpeas are broken down and combined with the onion. Be sure not to over mix, we don’t want hummus but they should resemble a grainy consistency.

- Rinse (uncooked) chickpeas in a fine mesh strainer and add to a large pot. Cover with 2 inches water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Then cover, remove from heat, and let set for 1 hour. Then drain and lightly rinse and dry thoroughly (method from the Kitchn).
- In the meantime, add parsley, onion, and garlic to a food processor. Mix until well processed. Set aside.
- Once the chickpeas are slightly cooled and dried, add to the food processor, along with gluten-free oat flour, salt, cumin, cardamom, coriander, and cayenne (optional). Mix to combine thoroughly, scraping down sides as needed. This may take up to 4-5 minutes to fully incorporate all of the spices and herbs. You're looking for a near paste with only very small bits of chickpeas and herbs.
- Sample a small bit and adjust spices/salt/herbs as needed. Then cover and set in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to become more firm.
