Ingredients
Directions
- Soak the chickpeas and the beans for 8 to 12 hours in enough cold water to cover by 3 in/8 cm. Drain, and then rinse and dry them.
- In a food processor, blend all the falafel ingredients together until the mixture is homogenous. (Alternatively, the mixture can be ground twice through a small die until very smooth.) Form into balls about 11⁄2 in/4 cm in diameter. Slightly flatten the balls.
- Heat the oil to 350°F/177°C in a large rondeau or fryer and deep-fry the falafel until crisp and brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain briefly on paper towels. Serve immediately.
