Crock Pot Falafel image

This is so good and easy to prepare in the crock pot. I got this recipe from a crockpotting blog and tweaked it to suit our tastes. Now I'm addicted to falafel. It's a middle eastern dish that is usually served in a pita with a cucumber/yogurt sauce but we prefer it wrapped in a corn tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes and a tangy ranch dressing. Even the kids eat this one up.

Time 3h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1/2 onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
2 minced garlic cloves
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Process the onion in a food processor until it's very finely chopped. (My family doesn't like onion chunks).
  • Add the spices, egg, garlic and lemon juice. Process until mixed.
  • Drain the beans and add to the food processor. Process with just a few pulses leaving some beans in chunks.
  • Transfer bean mixture to a bowl and add bread crumbs. It will be wet and sticky so you can form it into balls.
  • Pour the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of your crock pot.
  • Form bean mixture into golf ball size balls and flatten slightly.
  • Dip each side into the olive oil and nestle into the bottom of your crock pot. It's ok if they overlap or lay on top of each other.
  • Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or until golden brown.
  • Layer into a pita or corn tortilla with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and tangy ranch dressing.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with different types of beans and lentils, and it always turns out great. I also like to add different spices and herbs to the falafel mixture to change up the flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can or two of chickpeas in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in. The falafel is so easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family.

This recipe is a winner! The falafel is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the tahini sauce is creamy and flavorful. I served it with hummus and pita bread, and it was a hit with my guests.
