The Easiest Falafel Recipe · i am a food blog
These falafels are all that a big falafel should be: crunching outside, soft inside, nicely spicy and very, very green. They are totally vegan but, take it from a carnivorous person for life, you would never make it or lack meat while eating them.
Confession: I never had a falafel until the age of 21. Hungras, filled at night, at the end of the night, I taught me a love for the whole night of the food of the Middle East, and to date, I want the declaration that the best thing I have ever eaten is a chicken shawarma at 3 am in the streets of the old pleasant town, a gentle film filled with pita filled with spicy chicken and smoky falafels.
I loved doing these falafels. It was an equal easy part (just dip the chickpeas, all blitz and rest) and in equal parts, to shape them. I imagined that I was an Itamae – a Japanese Nigiri sushi master – while I shaped each little soft falafel. The most size balls have proven to be around the same size as round sushi in Kyoto style in fact: 1 inch wide, that I found the perfect combination of crunchy and soft.
It turns out that, like almost everything that is fried, having fresh fryer falafels is better than you expect. I fried them after none of the rules of frying, and it turns out that falafels are the most indulgent thing ever to fry. I just used 12 oz of oil in a very small saucepan, without any temperature measurement other than sticking the thermpene from time to time to make sure that the oil was greater than 300 ° F before falling into the 3-4 falafels at a time. The oil has remained clean and new in a way that it never does during meat frying, and the falafels were clear and not oily at all.
If you are looking to associate them, our fatoush,, Moroccan lamb meatballsAnd grilled Moroccan bread are excellent options. Having a sock sauce is a must, and while a tahini -based sauce is the traditional choice, this tzaziki is a super healthy alternative. It was so fun to do and so delicious to eat. You will not regret having done them, I hope you try them and let me know what you think!
