Falafel is a favorite weeknight meal that demands prior planning due to the need for soaking dried chickpeas overnight for the perfect texture. The author prefers using dried chickpeas over canned ones to achieve the right consistency. Once prepared, the recipe is efficient, especially when the chickpea mixture is shaped into fritters for shallow frying, which results in a crispy exterior. The process involves blending soaked chickpeas with shallot, garlic, herbs, and spices, along with thickening agents, ensuring a delicious and quick dinner after minimal prep.
One of my favorite weeknight meals - falafel - requires soaking dried chickpeas overnight but becomes an easy, fast-to-cook dish once prepared.
Shaping falafel batter into fritters instead of balls allows for a quicker cooking process by shallow-frying, achieving a crispy texture.
