  • ¼ Tsp Cumin
  • ¼ Tsp salt
  • ¼ Tsp Pepper
  • ¼ Tsp Coriander
  •  
  • Topping
  • ¼ Cup Coriander seeds
  • ¼ Cup Sesame
  • subheading: To make the batter:
  • Wash your fava beans thoroughly in the sink, then place in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak for a minimum of 8 hours
  • Once doubled in size, drain the fava beans and set them aside
  • Wash your leeks, spring onions, coriander and parsley, then roughly chop them up
  • Add the greens to your food processor and add the beans on top (The weight of the beans will help force the herbs into the blade)
  • Process everything until a finely minced paste forms, then add the salt and spices
  • Mix together thoroughly until well combined then set aside
  • subheading: To make the stuffing:
  • Dice your onion into a small dice, then place in a pot over medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • Saute until the onions start to soften then add the Harissa, Red Pepper paste and the seasonings
  • Add a small amount of water to form a sauce, then allow it to cook down and thicken
  • Repeat adding water and allowing the topping to reduce until the onions are cooked through
  • subheading: To make the topping:
  • Using a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the Coriander seeds till you can smell their aroma
  • Combine the coriander with the sesame and it's ready to use
  • subheading: To whip up the batter:
  • Add about a quarter of the batter to a stand mixer, and whisk it on medium speed for about 5 minutes
  • When it is light and fluffy it's ready to be used
  • Use the whipped mixture immediately as it will deflate quickly
  • subheading: To shape the falafel:
  • Wet the palm of your hand or a piece of parchment paper, very lightly
  • Place about 2 to 3 Tbsp (or 1 ice cream scoop) of Batter on the paper/your hand then lightly flatten it using very little pressure
  • Wet your second hand and press it into the topping, then lightly press the topping to the batter so it sticks
  • Flip your Ta'ameya onto your second hand or another piece of parchment paper then apply the topping this side as well
  • Fry the ta'ameya within 5 minutes otherwise it will deflate
  • subheading: To stuff the falafel:
  • Repeat steps 1 to 2 from above, making it slightly smaller
  • Place a small amount of filling on top of the batter and flatten it out
  • Add more batter on top then join the sides together
  • Add the topping to both sides or leave plain to differentiate it
  • subheading: To fry the falafel:
  • Heat your oil to 160c or 320f, then add your falafel in
  • Once added, baste the top with hot oil so it solidifies, then fry for 2 to 3 minutes on this side
  • Flip over once browned then fry for another 2 to 3 minutes
  • When that time is up, fry it for 2 more minutes on each side
  • Remove from the oil and drain, before placing it on a paper towel lined tray to dry
