A super healthy falafel recipe made from fava and chickpea flour.

Equipment

  • 1 Komo Classic Grain Mill

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fava/chickpea flour (ground at about 6 clicks to the left of center)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
  • 2 ½ tsp parsley (dried)
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 oz water
  • light olive oil (as needed for frying)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Keep sealed in container or plastic bag until ready to use.

To make falafel:

  • Add 4 ounces of water to the mixture of dry ingredients. Allow to rest for 10 to 20 minutes before forming into patties or balls.
  • Fry in heated oil for about 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned. Drain on paper towel.
  • Serve as desired. I like to eat them in a pita with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato and sliced cucumber. They're also great as appetizers served with a bleu cheese dip (recipe to come).

Notes

  • You can shape these into balls, patties, croquettes, or really any shape you like.
