what do you think about the falafel recipe 😊
It’s one of the best I’ve seen on this app :)
Onto the menu they go. Can't wait to try it.
Love the recipe! The roasted garlic 👌 is a must try, and btw we use kale with the cilantro and parsley - though spinach is a great suggestion! Though our food processor broke last month, so it'll have to wait 😢. Anywho, great recipe as always! Keep it fresh, keep it Vegan ✌️
😮😍🥰❤
Perhaps the perfect reason to buy a new processor? :) @@beacypress
People around the country start soaking chickpeas in advance of tomorrows dinner
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Around the whole world! Greetings from Germany, preparing these falafels right now, cant wait to eat
I love falafel and have been wanting to make them for some time. THIS is the recipe that will finally get me to try it!! Thank you so much!!
Very well done, thank you for the attention you paid to the script, especially the justifications for all steps.
I love the way you are teaching us! With visuals and easy super easy instructions and recipes. The food is fantastic!! 💗
I really appreciate the falafel recipe, which is like heaven. I’m a garlic lover as well and will have to try the roasted and raw garlic combo. Sounds amazing.
I'm so glad I found your recipe. I was just talking about it and pow, your video was there. Just like magic! I love how you present the recipes and the science behind it!.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, as well as giving us helpful tips added for proper cooking instructions.
Finally!! The falafel. Here I missed it a few weeks ago. I kept checking back for it. Thank you ❤
That platter was on point, man. You've inspired me to make this and a string of other meals. 🙏
Your videos are so visually pleasing. Thanks for making the effort 🙌🏽
The recipe is right on and the plating is just beautiful. Love your channel!
You're right! The best tasting falafels ever. Terrific video. Love the background music. Keep the recipes coming.
I just made my second batch of falafels ever and these came out AMAZING! Thanks so much for the easy recipe and tips - I followed your refrigeration rule and it made a great difference. I opted to bake them, instead of frying. Little olive oil spray and done! Absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside - my husband and I devoured 6 instantly 😂 Thanks again Andrew. Best ever.
I lived in Egypt for 4 years. I absolutely LOVED falafel. Its hard to find in Florida where I live. So grateful for this homemade recipe!❤❤❤
🙌🏾❤️ thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏾
❤I love the way you prepared the Garlic, and soaked the garbanzos. DELICIOUS, GREAT idea to add cilantro and dill weed. It is my favorite meal. Thanks a MILLION 💕
I’m making those. Love to cook since I was a little girl, but you have turned my whole life around.😍🤩🙏🏽
I love how you give so many options.....will make them fried one day, but for now, baked or air fried is how I have to go. I don't think there will be anything lost in the flavour!
Been needing to up my protein intake and this is a great recipe to use up my pantry staples. Thank you!!
Perfect timing, I have a ton of dried chickpeas that I wasn't sure what to do with & this looks so good!!
I cannot wait to make this! The presentation at the end was absolutely beautiful!
😍 thank you so much!! 🙌🏾
Andrew, thanks for talk afterwards. I made falafels recently and can see now how much they could have been improved.
This is a great recipes and our kids love it too! Thank you for sharing!
I am a falafel enthusiast. I highly recommend using split fava beans instead of chick peas. Thats how they do it in Egypt. In my opinion its the superior version of falafel.
You are making my plant based journey amazing and fun and educational! Bravo and Thank You!
I love falafel so much so happy you found the whisk before you blended it up great recipe ❤
😅 it was close! thank you 🙏🏾
Holy cow when that food processor kicked in! Woke me right up. Thanks for this. I love the recipe, filming, commentary, everything. Especially the mini whisk. That hits home.
I can’t wait to try this recipe! ❤
Tried them. Loved them. They ARE the best falafels ever. Ever.
Made this today and it was a hit! Will make again. 😋
👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 5 ⭐️ it’s looks delicious! Definitely will be trying this! And Thanks for the idea on adding raw & roasted garlic ❤ I love garlic..I put it in EVERYTHING! Except sweets 😊
The first time I made falafel I used canned chick peas and they were good. I baked them. Second time - not so good. I can't wait to try this recipe!! Thank you and love your channel!
Your video presentation is amazing. Can't wait make the falafel with my son.🎉
Love you guys!
You had me at falafel - always looking out for new and different recipes. And this was both and it had a ton of garlic, which I love. Twelve hour lead time - no problem. On the menu this week. Think I'll even deep-fry this time, which I never do.
🙌🏾 hope you enjoy soon!!! 🤗
Great video and explanation keep up the good work
Those look delicious! One of my favorite foods!
Love them will try for sure.
I love falafel! Can't wait to try this recipe!!
Omg I could eat falafel every single day!!! I love it & was in desperate need of a recipe!!!😮❤🎉TY SO MUCH
🙌🏾 you got it!!
Holy chick peas!! The falafel recipe!! I’m so happy right now, this is such an awesome and easy recipe, even I can make it, lol. I can’t wait, and thank you for providing us with a recipe request that we harassed you with 😆. Your awesome Andrew!!
😂 of course! my apologies it took a while. i try working a few weeks ahead. thanks for being amazing and patient! 🫶🏾
No, thank YOU!
New to your channel - subscribed after 1st video & proceeded to binge. So happy to have found you. 😊
Can't wait to make! I'm new to your channel! Love it! Do you have a grocery list of pantry items so I'm not running to the store every day?
I make a batch of falafel AT LEAST twice a month for lunch prep. I would do it all month if I was prepping for myself alone and not the whole family!! I love how you incorporated the garlic flavors - will definitely do this next time!!!
🙌🏾 im right there with you! such a solid meal prep option.
Thanks for giving me tomorrow night’s dinner idea. Will start the soaking tonight 😊
🙌🏾 Hope you enjoy
It’s therapy to watch and listen to you cook vegan earthy healthy happy food!!!
Beautifully filmed
I think I’m going to try and make it! 😃
You had me at whole garlic bulb! I can't wait to make this.
I cant wait to try this. I havent had falafl in so long and i dont live in the same state as my medaterian import where i use to get a couple pitas stuffed with em and baklava for lunch a few times a month..... Back in 07.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ve all but given up on making decent falafel. Thanks for all the tips.
hope you get to enjoy soon!!
Thanks for the tip about baking or air frying
My pleasure 😊
Wow! I know this is going to be a great tasting recipe
Oh yum! I can do this!!❤
Love this recipe
When I make falafel I always use dry one because i think they become more crispy, from the can they're muddy when frying. In the water I also put half of lemon juice to activate the bicarbonate and let the chickpeas rest for 12 hours ...after a good cleaning and boiling I put in my chickpeas mixture some sesame seeds !!!! Your recipe is very good, thank you for sharing 😇🙏, be safe.
I agree with you . I love falafel.
Very informative Ty
These look amazing! Definitely more and different spices and herbs than I’ve used in past recipes. Putting them on schedule for this week I think. I’d make them today…but no chickpeas soaked. 😂
Thanks 🙏🏻
😂 hope you enjoy!!
I'm just so impressed that you have a "schedule"!
YOU DID A GOOD JOB. YOU ARE THE FALAFEL MASTER
Goodafternoon andrew i will be making the falafel's you had me at all the garlic and the onions 😂i put both in every thing i make😊you never disappoint me 😅have a good rest of your day ❤until next time😊
same!! garlic and onions land in literally all my meals!
They're so pretty, Nardo! 😍 This method is definitely a lock for me. 👍
🙌🏾 🙌🏾
I am sooo hungry.. i love this. Thank you
I hate chickpeas but I love falafel and hummus... and I make both often. Great recipe!
Little late watching this one. But I thoroughly enjoyed it as usual. Very different meal. But very appealing. 👌🏾
I love your presentation and especially your explanation with that added personal touch. Did you learn your skills in the kitchen from your mom? Your attention to detail everything from the slicing of onions for example. I’ve heard the way you slice onions changes depending on the dishes. I just discovered your site and I must say your presentation give a different nuance, especially as a melanated chef. I have subscribed to another channel for several months, he is also AA and recipes are free of flour, oils, and some of the usuals. Vegan recipes.
Yum 😋 that roasted garlic made me happy ☺️
YES! its such a twist to the basic recipe!
Yeah... Legit AF... Second time making this recipe. First time I didnt blend enough resulting in somewhat brutal toilet time. Blend it! More than you think!! Really, really good done correctly, amazing! thanks bro! I added some spring onions, and twice the garlic, perfection!
I love this man's voice.
I just use a falafel scoop to portion the batter directly into the oil -- you can make a looser, wetter mixture and get crunchier, lacier falafel. you don't want to pre-shape them; just scoop a looser batter right into the oil. as long as it's not TOO wet (less liquid than pancake batter) and the temp is right (350 F is good), the shell will form right away around the falafel and it'll form flattish balls that won't fall apart. the advantages of the classic falafel scoop are twofold, IMO -- 1) you can briefly dunk the top of the ball in sesame seeds before frying (delicious) and 2) it has a little lever to dislodge the batter from the scoop. you can definitely use a slightly wetter dough and get crunchier falafels if you play with that, but this method will work super-well for people who are new to falafel, or anyone who just wants a slightly easier method. they're still gonna be delicious.
I put my baking powder (I use powder, not soda, because there's no acid in my recipe to produce leavening with the alkaline soda, as opposed to baking powder which has both components) directly in my batter recipe rather than when soaking falafel, so that I know exactly how much is going in.
I love the combo of herbs you added! lots of herbs are good -- I think falafel should be distinctly green. I use parsely, cilantro, mint and sometimes dill, and I use tons.
this is amazing! thank you do much for sharing!
@@thenarddogcooks thank YOU for all your hard work and videos! you're an inspiration.
Where do you purchase the scoop? Thanks
YAAAS!!!!!! I tried a "quick" falefal recipe once, which called for canned chickpeas. (Have you ever tried to fry baby food?) You've given me the confidence to put that disaster behind.
😂 i havent tried frying baby food but im not gonna lie... im really tempted to see what happens 🫣
While not vegan or vegetarian, I love good vegetarian food. This is a fantastically easy recipe that gives a lot of room to play around!
I may have to try this with a little mint and black garlic...
Very cool recipes👍 thank you! If you ever consider trying a portuguese dish, try "migas de couve galega" meaning bread mash with collard greens. It's a traditional accompaniment of meats but it's actually great on its own or with tofu/seitan! It is also a good way to use up stale bread. Let me know if you want my family recipe 😉
sounds amazing! im always open to learning/discovering. my email is in the description. would love to try it out for myself 😊
Great recipe! but you forgot to add the 11l2 cup chopped walnuts to the processed mash at the end. It adds a flavorful crunch I really like and others might like, too.
"24 hours? thats like....5 days!"
had me cracking up 🤣🤣
Im getting hungry just watching. Going to write this down so i can try.
Thank you
"Use dried chickpeas. This is not a birthday card. This is not a choice." ❤ And I can't wait to make this. Especially when arugula came up as optional throw in. Arugula is life.
YES 🙌🏾, mixing up the options to toss in is gold 🤌🏾
Again, awesome recipe!
Question...
If I make a batch and freeze some of the mixture, do I freeze before I cook or after? Thanks in advance!
great question! you can do both. i recommend freezing after you cook though. this way you only need to do all your frying once. 🤗
All I can say is "YUMMMMMMM"😋🤤🌱🌱🌱🌱
Never had it. I've grown up in the south and never heard of these until I started watching CZcams 🤣 now I need to make them....🤷🏼♀️😉
Making these as I comment xD they smell so good raw I can’t wait to cook em
Going to get these ingredients, because Aw Yeah Boy!!!
This looks like an amazing recipe! Got to try it! Whole head of garlic, yay! Have you ever tried freezing them? You have any preference of freezing them before cooking or after? I have Frozen them before cooking in the past and find that they fall apart. Any solution you can suggest?
You don’t need a channel name change, but if you did, The Saga of Tiny Whisk gets my vote. 😊
Speaking about shape. I like waffle falafel shape. I cook mine is a waffle iron
If someone, say, has an intolerance to onions (it's me, I'm the weirdo, and yes it is annoying), would you recommend omitting them all together, or substituting something else (and if so, what)?
I produce music & love to cook. You just gave me the realization that adding roasted & raw garlic to a dish is like parallel compressing the garlic😂 I hope that makes sense to a few others in the comments
I really love falafel. The first time a did it I used canned chicken beans and the falafels desapeared when I putted then in the oil 😂
How long need to rest in the refrigerator? I didn't see this part in your recipe?
Hands down best falafels I've had. My wife doesn't even like falafel and she asked for more 😂
Thanks
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾
My biggest concern is about fully cooking the chickpeas. I have had (mild) food poisoning from undercooked beans before (to be fair, they were kidney beans) but it is a constant thought whenever I see to not cook them before hand, now.
Try the Iraqi Amba sauce with it
Im not vegan but I love me some veggies, but God damn falafels are GOD TIER!
It's missing tahini! Still look yummy!
What happened at 3:29 min when bowl was removed and brought back? Thanks
Sir, please share what kind of food processor you're using. I'm in need of a new one. Thank you.
Oh, why the dry chuck peas?
Could a blender work for blending these ingredients ?
This is why I don't make falafel!!! The same reason I don't make bread. Love them both but am so impatient. So... I shared the recipe and video to a friend who I know would enjoy making this for me :). That way we can have dinner together. All I have to do is show up with a smile and a bottle of wine! What did you do with the oil you roasted that garlic in? We are approaching Spooky Season. Vampire repellent? Stay amazing..... PEEEEEAAAAAAAACE!
😂 certainly a phenomenal vamp repellent but also too good to use on them!! used it to smooth out a tomato soup and to sauteed some onions the next day. Delicious 🤗
