A friend who doesn't eat meat but does eat eggs was visiting. She doesn't like soups but loves legumes and warm dishes, so we decided to make these falafels, which you can bake or fry. Personally, I prefer to add a bit more breadcrumbs if frying. They're energizing, healthy, vegan, and fat-free. To accompany them, I made this mayonnaise, which we really liked for its flavor and quick preparation. I hope this recipe inspires you to try it!

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 minutes
  1. 1

    Start by preparing the falafel by processing all the ingredients in a blender.

  2. 2

    I personally sauté the finely chopped onion a bit because we don't like finding raw onion in our food.

  3. 3

    Add the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, a splash of sesame oil, and the spices.

  4. 4

    Add the breadcrumbs at the end, depending on the texture you want. For baking, I used 3 heaping tablespoons, but for frying, I like to add a couple more tablespoons.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.

  6. 6

    Form small balls and flatten them slightly. Bake for about 15 minutes, turning them over, or until golden to your liking. My oven is very slow, so I left them in a bit longer.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. Put the peas, garlic, lemon juice, mint, and egg in the blender.

  8. 8

    Blend well and gradually add the olive oil while continuing to blend, moving the blender up and down, until you achieve the desired texture.

  9. 9

    Serve and enjoy. We love dipping the falafel in the mayonnaise!
