Falafel Delight

I have been making humus for a while now so I decided to move on to another great chickpea dish so I created a roasted red pepper falafel.

  • 1 1/4 cups dried chickpeas (7 oz)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • Add all of the following ingredients to a food processor.

    1 can chickpeas (drained)
    1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell pepper (drain well if stored in oil)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
    3/4 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon coriander
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon sea salt
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    3 Tablespoons flour

    Mix until finely chopped and well mixed. Stopping and scraping down the sides often. Form mixture into patties and dust lightly with flour. Heat oil in large skillet. Carefully brown the falafel on both sides.

    I served these with a fresh greens, sun dried tomato, and soy dressing.
