Select all ingredients

Chickpeas 400 g cizrny

Yellow onion 120 g oloupané cibule

Flat-leaf Parsley 40 g lístků plocholisté petržele

Garlic 20 g oloupaného česneku

Red chili pepper 10 g dužniny chilli papričky

Ground cumin 2 g mletého římského kmínu

Vegetable oil rostlinný olej na smažení

Edible salt (Salt) 8 g soli

Preparation method

Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 10–12 hours. Then drain, rinse thoroughly in cold water, and let them drip dry in a colander.

Finely chop the onion, garlic, parsley, and chili pepper. Together with the chickpeas, salt, and ground cumin, place them in a blender and blend until fine. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

From the rested dough, form 20 balls and gently flatten them with your palm into patties 1 cm high.

Chef's tip

You can add a pinch of baking soda to the dough; the falafel will then be fluffier and crispier. You can shape the falafel into individual pieces using a special mold designed for this purpose. For preparation, you will need a blender.
