The History of Falafel

Falafel is believed to have originated in Egypt, where it was a common street food in the 19th century. Over time, the dish spread throughout the Middle East and became a staple of the region's cuisine. Falafel is now enjoyed around the world and has become a popular vegetarian alternative to meat-based dishes.

The dish is made from ground chickpeas that are mixed with herbs, spices, and other ingredients. The mixture is then formed into balls or patties and deep-fried until crispy and golden.

The dish is made with eggplant that is roasted, peeled, and mashed. Tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and other seasonings are added to the mixture, creating a delicious and healthy dip that is packed with flavor.

Falafel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 4-6 tbsp all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying

1. Soak the chickpeas in water overnight. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
2. Place the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined, but still a little bit chunky.
3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together and is not too sticky.
4. Form the mixture into small balls or patties.
5. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the falafel balls or patties to the pan.
6. Fry the falafel until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Remove the falafel from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain.
8. Serve the falafel with pita bread, hummus, tahini, or your favorite Middle Eastern dipping sauce.
