To prepare falafel, you will need a grinding device, e.g. a food processor, thermomix, blender, chopper or shredder. The preparation itself will not take you more than 10 minutes, but you must remember to pour water over the chickpeas the day before so that they have time to soak. You cannot prepare falafels from cooked chickpeas in a can or jar<\/strong>. Falafels made from such chickpeas will simply melt. Falafels can be baked in the oven or fried in a pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your falafels began to fall apart or even dissolve after being placed in the oil, you most likely prepared them with canned or jarred chickpeas, i.e. cooked chickpeas. Unfortunately, this falafel will not work. For falafel, you need to buy dry chickpeas, pour cold or lukewarm water over them, set aside for several hours, pour off, dry them and only from such chickpeas can you prepare falafel that will not fall apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Falafel can be eaten with a sauce like nuggets, with hummus or in a pita\/tortilla with lettuce and vegetables, e.g. tomato, cucumber. Falafel can be served with fries or groats, e.g. bulgur. You can also serve falafel in a bun like a hamburger or make falafel in the form of a sausage and prepare vegetarian hot dogs. Falafel tastes great both warm and cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Falafel\"](\"https:\/\/saltedpasta.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/falafel-05.jpg\")
