Falafel Recipe
- Dried Chickpeas (soaked overnight)
- Ras El Hanout
- Salt
- Pepper
- parsley (optional)
Grind the chickpeas in a food processor until fine but not pastey and let them sit in the fridge for about 15 min. Mix in the spices and optionally herbs. Bring your falafel into shape and deep fry.
They look very nice. How do you keep them from becoming too dry? I use a very similar recipe but make balls and they usually become a bit too dry.
I have never made these (but love eating them), but would a small amount of gelatin be useful for adding moisture? Or would that ruin the texture?
I'm not vegetarian or anything but it would feel weird adding gelatine to a vegan dish. On the other hand it's a very interesting idea. Maybe adding soaked chia, basil or linen seeds would help. They can store a lot of moisture.
