Falafel Waffles Recipes

FALAFEL WAFFLE

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas and fava beans overnight. Grind the beans, parsley, garlic, leek, onion and bell pepper in a meat grinder, double grinding if desired, to get a smoother texture. (Extra batter can be frozen at this stage for later use.) Mix in the coriander, cumin, fennel and salt right before cooking, or the batter will turn.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer or preheat a waffle iron.
• Use a falafel maker or hand-form the batter into flattened balls (to ensure even cooking). Deep-fry the falafel until they float to the top and the number of bubbles emanating from each falafel decreases significantly. Or, for falafel waffles, spray a waffle iron with nonstick spray, add a lump of batter and cook until brown and crispy on the outside but still green and soft inside.
