Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green lentils
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the green lentils under cold water. Place them in a pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly coarse for texture.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small golf ball-sized patties. If the mixture is too wet to hold together, add a little more flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the falafel patties to the skillet, leaving space between each one. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the falafel from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the Soy-Free Falafel de Lentilles warm, with your choice of accompaniments such as pita bread, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
