Falafel Patties Recipe


The Hummus Recipes Kitchen (The home of Hummus Recipes & Delicious Middle Eastern Recipes) invites you to try Falafel Patties Recipe. Enjoy the Middle Eastern Cuisine and learn how to make Falafel Patties.

Spicy, crispy chickpea patties. These are delicious with yogurt-garlic sauce.

Ingredients

4 cupsGarbanzo Beans; 2 cans
4 clovesGarlic; minced
2 teaspoonsCumin
1 teaspoonTurmeric
1 teaspoonSalt
1/2 cupOnion; finely minced
1/4 cupParsley; minced
1/4 cupWater
1 tablespoonLemon juice
1 dashCayenne
1/3 cupFlour

Method

Rinse the garbanzos and drain them well. If they were canned, just drain them.

Combine all ingredients (except flour) in a food processor or a medium sized bowl and process or mash until batter is uniform. Add flour and stir/process until thoroughly combined. The batter can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container for several days.

Preheat oven to 400?. Get a baking pan, cookie sheet, pie tin--whatever. Spray it with non-stick spray for best results and form the batter with a spoon into a flattened ball. It should not be much bigger than your spoon. For a falafel in a small pita bread, make 2-3 felafel patties. For a larger one, 4-5 will do. Bake them for about 20-25 minutes. You might flip them over halfway through baking. Theyre finished when they are golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen! Serve these in pita bread with sliced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes--whatever you'd like
