Rinse the chickpeas, then add 4 liters of water to soak overnight.
Drain the chickpeas and add them to a food processor. Blitz until you have a medium grind. Scoop into a bowl and set aside.
Roughly chop the fresh garlic, coriander and parsley as well as the white onion, and slide them into the food processor. Blitz until fine and place into the same bowl as the chickpeas.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until everything is evenly distributed
Tip: You can add a teaspoon of baking soda at this stage in order to get a fluffier falafel
Heat a pan of frying oil to 190 degrees Celsius. Use a traditional falafel scoop to make your falafels and drop them into the fryer. (If no falafel scoop in your kitchen drawer, a small ice cream scoop, or even two spoons, will do just fine!)
Fry the falafels until beautifully golden. This should take around 4.15 minutes.
Now enjoy your falafel the way you like it!
As always with cooking, this recipe is a guideline. What's important is that you have fun in the kitchen and feel free to change it up when you feel like it. If you fancy some other herbs and spices, go for it. Mix and match to create your favorite falafel!

1,5 tsp
Dry chickpeas
Lemon Juice
Tahini
Ice cubes
Salt
Rinse the chickpeas and soak in water overnight. Chickpeas tend to increase in volume about 2.5 times so make sure they are covered in enough water.
Strain the chickpeas, transfer them to a pot with fresh water and bring to a boil. As soon as the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. The chickpeas are done when you can squish them easily with your fingers. The softer the chickpeas, the smoother your hummus will be. It’s up to you!
Drain the chickpeas and let them cool down completely.
Pro tip: the starchy water in which the chickpeas were cooked, is called aquafaba. It has multiple applications, one of which is to replace eggs in baking recipes. Chickpea meringues, anyone?
Place the cooked chickpeas (500g) in a food processor, add salt, lemon juice and crushed ice cubes and process for three minutes. The ice cubes whip air into the mixture and prevent the blades from heating up while changing the taste of your precious hummus.
Add the tahini and process for three more minutes, until you have a perfect consistency.
After completing these steps you should be the proud parent of a fresh batch of delicious hummus! Now all you have to do, is invite your friends and dig in (if you are willing to share).
As always with cooking, this recipe is a guideline. This one makes the hummus just as we like it, but feel free to adjust the quantities of the ingredients to make your own perfect hummus.
