easy homemade Lebanese falafel recipe

Hello guys,

Well at home we really like the homemade Lebanese falafel,   this falafel recipe is so easy and delicious that it’s going to be your favorite ( I hope so, lol). My kids love falafel very much, they tasted it the first time when my middle East  from (Sudan, Lebanon and Egypt) prepare it for picnic  and meals we do at the park.

So it makes sense that they often ask me to prepare for them homemade Lebanese falafels, luckily I do have the easiest one ever, just put every thing in the food processor and that’s it!

I made the video with just the background sound effects in the kitchen ( ASMR)

Most important is to remember to soak the chickpeas in water the day before. Yes, because to succeed in falafels, you must not think you are « smart » and say no problem I will make falafels with tinned chickpeas  WRONG, WRONG… A message from a person who has already done this stupidity, me! when frying a beautiful dumpling of falafel became at the end as small as a seed of an olive, I even thaught that I had the chance to see dumplings disappear completely in the frying oil… What a miracle ! hihihih
