Ingredients
• 1 cup of dried chickpeas
• ½ large onion
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 3 tbsp of flour
• 1 tsp of cumin
• 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper
• Cheddar cheese, cubed
• Frying oil
Preparation
• DIRECTIONS:
• Pour dried chickpeas into a large bowl, cover chickpeas with water, and let soak overnight.
• Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
• Transfer chickpeas to food processor with onion, garlic, flour, salt, pepper, cumin, and pulse into a coarse meal.. Make sure to not over process the falafel mixture or it’ll become creamier.
• Fill a skillet about 1 ½ to 3 inches oil and heal slowly over medium heat.
• While oil is getting hot, wet hands and form small falafel patties. Put a cheese cube into the falafel patty and roll into a perfect falafel.
• To test the oil, add some falafel meal to oil. If it turns brown-black, the oil is too hot. If the meal sinks, it isn’t hot enough. If it sizzles and turns golden brown the second it touches the oil, it’s perfect!
• Fry 5-6 at one time in oil for about 2-3 minutes each side, or until golden brown. About 5-6 minutes per falafel.
• Drain on paper towels and serve warm to enjoy the fried, cheesy goodness in your unique cheese stuffed falafel.
