what you'll need
  

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 cups chickpeas dried
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 small red onion roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

sauce

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cumin

let's do it
 

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pour 2 Tbsp oil onto baking sheet and set aside (it will seem like a lot of oil)
  • Place dried chickpeas in large bowl and cover with water by 3-4 inches. The chickpeas will swell as they rehydrate so cover with plenty of water.
  • The next day drain the chickpeas and pour into the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, red onion, cumin, coriander, cayenne, cilantro, salt, pepper, baking soda and lemon juice. Pulse until completely incorporated scraping sides of bowl if needed. Transfer mixture to large bowl.
  • Using a small cookie scoop form 24 small balls about the size of a golf ball. Form balls into small patties and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Brush each pattie with remaining oil and place in oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until starting to brown. If they are not brown enough, brown them in a hot skillet. Just do not over-bake or they will get extremely dry.
  • While falafel is baking stir together the tahini sauce. To a medium bowl add tahini and water. Whisk until smooth. Add lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin. Whisk again and set aside.
  • Serve falafel on your favorite salad or stuffed into pita bread with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion and plenty of sauce. Enjoy!

One Last Thing

If the oven did not get the falafel patties brown enough for you, just put them in a hot saute pan for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side!
