Looks fabulous. A suggestion from a Lebanese Australian - it needs more coriander and parsley in the falafel mix. If you also add a spoonful of bicarb soda, it makes the inside of the cooked falafel light and fluffy. Also a good idea to make double or triple the recipe and freeze the unused portion of raw falafel for use at a later time for another meal. The tahini sauce needs some garlic and a little plain yoghurt can be added to the tahini sauce to tone it down if needed. Love the pickle options in your recipe.

I made these falafels (added parsley and skipped the tahini) and also did all the other sides and yogurt sauce for a group of 6 for lunch on Saturday and it was a big success!

I’ve been following you, Jamie from the days you were a very young chef till now, and I never get tired. You’re fantastic and creative, and I’m a much better cook because of you. Thank you!

[giovannikoershuis]

amazing dish, everything came together so well. the freshness of the yogurt sauce with the pickled red cabbage chilli and cucumbers was insane. this one will go down in the books and be on the table more often 🤘 no matter what they say, you're amazing Jamie! your dishes always bring a smile to me while making and to the guests at the table while eating👍

People complaining that real falafel ´should´ be made with soaked and cooked chickpeas instead of canned ones are skimping over the fact that Jamie makes recipes really approachable for a lot of people who otherwise would never eat this. Using canned chickpeas is a lottt quicker and thus way more workable for a lot of people with busy lives.

Isn´t it nice that by doing it this way, a lot of people have acces to a nice, tasty and healthy recipe that is very similar to the real deal? The magic of Jamie is that he opens up a world of food for a lot of food for people who otherwise would have no clue that those wonderfull dishes would have existed in the first place, and that is something to celebrate, not nitpick about details wether this or that should or should not be in it or is authentic

Amazing, veggies are love. Well done mister Oliver. I'm happy seeing you making more and more vegetarian dishes.

Love you Jamie, and love all your recipes and they way you present them!!! Thank you so much!!!

Never knew that falafel is so easy to make at home - thanks for the reciepe! ❤

Have you tried Egyptian Falafel? We call it Ta'emeyya!

Made of crushed beans, soaked in water for a few hours or over night for better results, and then mixed with lots of greens (Coriander, Parsley, Dill, Leak) + Red onions + whole Garlic (peeled of course) + salt.

Before frying it in deep oil we season it with black pepper, ground coriander seeds, cumin and sesame seeds (optional) then we add:

1 egg. 🥚

When we shape it we add sesame seeds on top then fry it, et voilà!


You can use all the sandwich filling/sauces you have creaded and more .. try it also withfried eggplants 🍆!

Delicious! 👌😋

[malina]

NB! If you don’t like the taste of soap in your mouth, just add Flat leaf parsley instead of the coriander / cilantro … 😅
And don’t waste the chickpea water. Make vegan pavlova. Whisk the chickpea water with sugar until stiff peaks and cook like a regular pavlova. Top with the sauce and fruit to your liking❤
I find this tips for chickpea water really good, now that eggs are so expensive ..
do not waste good food😊

You need to save the water from can chickpeas because it is the best vegan egg replacer. You can even use it as a sub for whipped egg whites. Never throw out aquafaba!

I never dared to make falafel myself and here you are, with your usual straight forward and unbothered way, showing us how to do it. And voila, made my first batch today and LOVE it. Thank you Jamie! I've been following you since the first hour and I will never stop!

[Thanju]

It’s harissa paste - for all those who didn’t get it the first, second and third time (like me)

[MultiDeedee]

I'll try this! I usually soak the raw chick peas - 24 hours - with bicarb soda - and also fava beans. Love coriander and parsley, hummus and all those things! When I lived in Sydney, I got the falafel recipe from the chef at Alibaba's - they were the BEST falafels!! Jamie certainly knows how to present and inspire! And makes it look so easy!

[zulmabeatrizmolina]

You make everything you cook look like a piece of art ❣

[lucky]

Oh my goodness I started drooling. I'm going to make some now. How delicious Jamie.😊

[chinyereapakama]

Thanks very much Jamie Oliver for your persistence and perseverance. You are definitely G.O.A.T. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[andreas.]

I know it wouldn't be soooo quick, as I'd need some prep time, but I'd appreciate it, if I could find the equivalent weight of dried chickpeas as well 🤩 Maybe for future recipes? BTW, it'd be 2 x 80g dried chickpeas, when 2x240g drained net weight considered of 2x400g tins 😊

[mariafernandes-unos]

U Make recipes look very simple. Amazing!

[akoma.skeftomai]

Jamie you are an inspiration for easy and good cook...
Cheers for Greece.
