Best Falafels And What To Eat With

If you are graving for falafels and have not yet found a recipe that really works, try this. These are the best falafels I have ever eaten so far with sesame crust giving them amazingly crusty texture.

People are often asking for a good hummus recipe. I guess that is because quite often "home made hummus" is tasteless and dry, very far from the real creamy yummy thing that can be called Hummus. Below you can find the recipe which change the idea of "chickpea mousse" to Hummus.
The original recipes you will find here.

Best Falafels (vg, gf) for 4-5 person

2,5-3dl  raw chick peas (makes about 5-6dl when soaked)
1/2 onion
3 garlic
1 bucket fresh parsley
1 bucket fresh coriander
1-2 tbsp potato stark
1-2 tsp salt
3 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp coriander seeds
1/3 tsp cayenne pepper
pinch of cardamon
pinch of black pepper
2 tbsp tahini
+ 2 tbsp water mix with 2 tsp soda

sesame seeds for the crust
oil for frying

Soak the chick peas over night. Mince the herbs, onion and garlic. Put all the other ingredients in a mixer first and add the the chick peas. Mix until it forms a grainy homogenous dough (it does not need to be smooth but crash the chick peas well). Let the dough aside for about 2 hours (You can use it straight away but it can be harder to form the bolls). Heat the oven 200C. Form little falafel bolls and roll them in plentiful sesame seeds to have crust. Add lot of oil on the top (I just sprinkled plenty of oil on the top) and bake about 30 minutes until falafels are golden and crispy.
