FALAFEL FROM MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except flour in a food processor.
• Blend until the consistency is uniform.
• Thoroughly mix flour into the felafel batter with a spoon.
• Heat a heavy skillet and add oil to coat completely. Wait until oil is heated and water sizzles upon contact when sprinkled into pan.
• Drop tablespoons of the batter into the oil, flattening slightly with a spatula like a small thick pancake. When bottoms are crispy and browned, flip them over.
• Place cooked felafel on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any residual oil.
• Keep warm in a 300 degree oven if not serving immediately.
• ***Note: Felafel may be deep fried, but use a standard vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil which does not have a high heat tolerance.
