Instructions
-
1Drain soaked chickpeas (NOT canned — they don't work for falafel) and pat dry.
-
2Process chickpeas with onion, garlic, herbs, spices, baking powder, and flour in a food processor into a coarse paste — don't over-mix, some chunks should remain.
-
3Season with salt and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes — it will become firmer.
-
4Make tahini sauce: Mix tahini with lemon juice, 3–4 tbsp cold water, and salt until creamy.
-
5Heat oil to 347°F (175°C). Form falafel into balls (walnut-sized) with wet hands.
-
6Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
-
7Stir cold Cannabis Olive Oil into the tahini sauce — just before serving.
-
8Plate: Spread hummus on plate, top with falafel, place tabbouleh and vegetables alongside, drizzle Cannabis Tahini Sauce on top.
Pro Tips
- NEVER make falafel with canned chickpeas — they contain too much moisture and the batter will fall apart in the oil.
- Don't over-process the paste — coarse texture makes falafel crispy outside, light inside.
- Cannabis Olive Oil in the tahini sauce — tahini is itself a fat carrier, ideal for cannabinoids.
- Serve falafel immediately after frying — after 20 minutes they become slightly rubbery.
