• Before use, soak chickpeas in water for at least 12 hours.
• Put the chopped onion, minced garlic clove, chopped parsley/coriander, salt, black pepper, cumin and coriander in a bowl next to the soaked and drained chickpeas.
• Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon.
• Assemble the ANKARSRUM food processor with the meat grinder attachment and the 4.5 mm disc.
• Grind the chickpea mixture.
• Add the sesame seeds and olive oil and mix with a spoon.
• Turn on the oven at 200°C and put 60 ml of olive oil in a deep pan on the middle rack of the oven.
• Form patties from the falafel (use about 2 tablespoons of the mixture to form a ball).
• Take out the baking tray and carefully put the falafels in it, brush them with olive oil and bake in the oven for approx. for 10-15 minutes.
• Now take the baking sheet out again and carefully turn the fala halves over, then put them back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
• After baking, remove the falafels, place a kitchen paper towel on a plate and remove the falafels. The paper towel will absorb the excess oil.
