Sun-dried Tomato Falafel

Sun-dried Tomato Falafel Recipe

By Batch Cooking Club

🔪Prep Time: 15 minutes

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 15-oz cans chickpeas

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained

½ cup parsley, chopped

½ cup mint, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 Tbsp hemp seeds

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp coriander

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp sea salt

Instructions

1If baking the falafel, preheat your oven to 350°F. If frying the falafel, fill a fry pan with 3 inches of canola oil over low heat.

2Place all ingredients into a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it holds together like a batter. Use a rubber spatula to push down the ingredients and continue to pulse, if necessary. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

3Using a 2-inch cookie scoop (optional), form 2-3 tablespoons into spheres (or balls, if you prefer). If baking the falafel, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Bake for 6 minutes. Flip and bake for 6-8 more minutes. (Note that falafel will be delicate). If frying, when the oil is hot, place the falafel in the pan and fry for about 5 minutes on each side. Drain on a plate lined with a towel.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
