description
Herbal black chickpea falafels are a revisitation of the classic falafel, delicious, naturally gluten-free and vegan meatballs.
preparation
step 1
Soak the chickpeas in a large bowl for at least 12 hours. I generally leave them all night, and then prepare falafels the next day.
step 2
After this time, drain the chickpeas well and rinse them. Pour them into the mixing bowl and add the chopped onion and garlic, salt, spices, friggitelli and aromatic herbs.
step 3
Blend all the ingredients with intermittence to obtain a compound with a sandy consistency.
step 4
Transfer the falafel mixture into a large bowl, then add the chickpea flour and baking soda. Mix well, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
step 5
Retrieve the dough and shape the balls more or less the same size. You can choose whether to create balls or flattened meatballs, but remember to be very delicate: the dough is still quite fragile.
step 6
Arrange the falafels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lightly greased then sprinkle the surface with little other oil (I usually help myself with a brush).
step 7
Bake the falafels in a static oven at 220 ° C for 15 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Serve them still warm.
