Awesome to see Falafel is getting a proper representation abroad! Great recipe BA! For the home cooks, there's no shame in shallow frying falafels in a flat shape (like half an inch thick)! They cook perfectly well and turn out just as delicious, without the mess of deep frying (and arguably less oil in them). I also recommend skipping the herbs and some spices if you're going to eat it in a pita, meaning not a "herb falafel" but just a purist version with chickpeas, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Maybe Cumin. That way, the falafel balls themselves are very deliberate in their flavor and everything else in the pita goes to complement them. Dill pickles, saurkraut, tahini, fenugreek sauce, Amba, they all go incredibly well in Falafel. But if you flavor the balls themselves with herbs and spices, the whole thing can become overpowering. Falafel like this is usually eaten as finger food, since you pack so much flavor into each ball, they really are the star of the show and need no pita. You pick up a ball and dip it in a sauce like Tahini, Hummus, Amba, other Fenugreek products... even yoghurt. Whatever you fancy really. And it's great. I'm sure these turned out amazing.

Pretty close to an Egyptian style falafel called Ta'ameya, but a standard chickpea style thing. The Egyptian style replaces chickpeas with Fava beans and sesame seeds as the bulk, with the same herbs, the addition of much more garlic and much more cumin (probably about 6x for this amount). Notably the Egyptian falafel is very herbaceous like this recipe, so stick with the parsley and coriander and also add mint, dill and microplaned lemon zest. Generally served smashed inside a wrap on top of a bed of houmous and spicy sauce, with shredded lettuce and tomato, grilled halloumi, grilled aubergine and pickles of spring vegetables and carrots. Then drizzle with the sauce which is thinned down yoghurt blended with the same herbs, extra mint, the juice of the zested lemon and a good pinch of salt. It's nowhere near as simple but there's a reason Ta'ameya is considered one of the best. You probably triggered every single falafel vendor from germany to arabia by not smashing them inside the wrap though, that is the essential falafel move, nobody wants to eat perfect falafel balls. That's messed up instagram photo nonsense, please nobody try to eat these in ball form, break them up, it's the only way.

Egyptian taameya is smashed (or shaped like a flat disc but the sandwich is usually done with thin tahini (usually doesn't have yogurt in it ) a salad and sometimes fried aubergine, pickles are on the side. But otherwise the falafels themselves are just as you described very herbaceous with a ton of garlic and cumin.

I fell in love with felafel in the seventies and have always looked for better ways to prepare them. This recipe is so far ahead of any other I've ever tried. It's not even close. The jalapeno,, the fenugreek in the sauce. I put about 10 dry chickpeas in my spice grinder to make the flour. I threw a bunch of course stuff away. I also put the balls in the freezer while I got everything else ready. and everything held up well during the frying process. Great job BA, you too, Molly.

I’m so glad I found this because my husband loves falafel. Yay for BA trying out vegan recipes!

J-Mac's Amateur Kitchen didn't I hear this joke already on Food wishes channel?

If you're concerned about the size of the grind on the chickpeas, use a meat grinder with a 3/16" plate instead of a food processor. I don't even use the food processor for the herbs and veg--I just rough chop all that and run it through the grinder with the chickpeas. It produces a MUCH more consistent particle size. Plus, the grinder both crushes and cuts the herbs, which releases a lot more of the flavor than simply cutting like a food processor does. And because it also crushes the chickpeas, it releases a lot of free starch, which acts as a binder, so you don't need to add any extra chickpea flour, or baking powder for that matter. Also, hand-forming is not only slow, but leads to inconsistent size, which you can see in the video. Using a portion scoop works better. Lastly, if you're worried about them cooking fully before the outside gets too dark, flatten them out a bit. A flattened disk cooks through faster than a sphere of the same volume. I just dish mine out onto a sheet tray with the previously mentioned portion scoop, then cover them with some plastic wrap and use another sheet pan to press them all down to about 3/4" thick. They cook fully in about 4 minutes and are easier to pack into a pita because they are thinner. And if you're looking for a real time-saver, just press out a full sheet pan of falafel grind 3/4" thick, then cut it into little squares and fry them up. They cook and taste just the same, but they're square-shaped, which only bothers purists. And purists bother me, so I guess that's just payback.

@@maisondav1d I started with the Serious Eats recipe, but they (like BA) use a food processor, which generally leads to inconsistent particle size. So I use a meat grinder like I mentioned above. Beyond that, I double the amount of cumin, add some MSG, and add some dry mustard powder, black pepper and finely grated lemon zest. Normally I would use sumac to get that lemony-peppery flavor that plays really well with mint, but sumac turns them reddish-brown on the inside. The combination of mustard, pepper, and lemon gives me roughly the same flavor without discoloring the mix. They fry up perfectly at about 350°F for about 4 minutes, maybe 4 1/2 if you like them a bit darker.

That. Looks. Delicious.
