Baked Herb & Pistachio Falafel
serves 4-6 (about 24 falafels)
8 sprigs of fresh mint 8 sprigs of fresh parsley 1 cup pistachio nuts 2 cups garbanzo beans/ chickpeas 2 cloves garlic ½ small onion 3 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon flour (we used buckwheat flour) 1 teaspoon baking powder
1. Start by blending the herbs in a mixer for about 30 seconds. Add pistachio nuts and pulse until well combined. Rinse the garbanzo beans. Add them and the rest of the ingredients into the mixer and blend for about a minute. Stir around with a spoon occasionally. Try to keep the texture of the falafel dough a little rough. 2. Make 24 small round falafels, place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes at 375°F/200°C. Turn every 5 minutes to get an even brown color. 3. Serve them wrapped in cabbage leaves with yogurt, tomato salsa, raisins and some fresh herbs.
