Super Quick Falafels | Jamie Oliver

[@MEA5755]

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.

[@smallspace7]

And that's how it's perfectly done👌

[@evelynhillier2877]

I miss the pickled turnip!

[@deeferry6520]

Thanks for the tips, Tahini sauce is my very favourite. I also love falafel.

[@Inspiredbakes]

Just perfect, thank you for sharing

[@chriswright4677]

Could do with a vid from you. Sounds like you know the real shizz.

[@doorboerstra7584]

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

[@sonnbonn]

If he would've deep fried them which is the norm, they would've disintegrated. So you're right this is a more approachable, healthier way of cooking them. But that's why you can't use canned ones for traditional falafel.

[@Yoruake89]

@@sonnbonn I want to try to make Falafel next week. I didn't plan on deep frying them. Do I need to? I need to make them myself, because no restaurant in town offers some, that are done without the risk of crosscontamination with chilli (I am allergic to chilli).

[@eap8317]

I work from 9am to 5:30pm and still have time to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner most days. We do falafel at home and it is very easy to leave chickpeas soaking in water overnight...the rest is done in the food processor! if you want to eat well and cook properly your food, there is no such thing as "busy life", as there is always time for everything as long as you take some time to plan. Jamie creates recipes that cater more for the lazy way most British people approach cooking and eating... In British culture, cooking and eating is a quick thing, something you do to keep you going (specially at lunch times), not necessarily an experience as you find in other European countries where cooking is an art and sitting down to eat is part of family and social life. I understand and have admired Jamie's approach to food but he sometimes can butcher recipes for the sake of making them "approachable" for the British public, when sometimes you just need to do it properly or else go and find it in your local foreign restaurant... or travel abroad.

Thank you for saying this 🙏🙏

Uncooked chickpeas, not cooked, changes everything

[@ivovicente9811]

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

[@joyfloyd3773]

AWESOME AND ON TIME. I WILL TRY SOME CURRY FOR CARIBBEAN FLAVOR

[@sewingSue]

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!

[@alexanderbartuli900]

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

[@Schnabulation]

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

[@giovannikoershuis4035]

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👍

[@clairjunior5291]

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!

[@arielkotzer]

What he said

[@s.o.s.crawford83]

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!

[@anncarter6438]

I gasped when he chucked it down the sink, then proceeded to talk about not easting the coriander stalks! Chick pea water is great for making chicken tenders etc. A great replacement, and saves using an expensive egg

[@justrobin1234]

@@anncarter6438 He said a lot of people waste the coriander stalks but not him 😁

[@imagination914]

I would just use eggs as I'm not vegan. Just saying!

[@Mars-dn4lz]

How can you store aquafaba for later?..Can you freeze it?

[@traceybartlam7737]

I’m sure he knows this as it’s common knowledge but he uses eggs so probably has no need at this particular time. I still find it bizarre that the cloudy water can whip like egg white though

[@pachalia]

Recuerdo cuando veia naked chef hace decadas, guapisimo el jamie! Ahora es todo un señor q cocina rico jee

[@Thanju]

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

[@zizzie4081]

Is allspice in Britain different from allspice in the US? It looks like a paste that he uses. Any advice?

[@chinyereapakama298]

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

[@yendoacontramanodelmundo]

Jamie, does the mixture work if cooked in an airfryer?

[@SamFredSand]

Made these for Superbowl LVIII for my husband and I. Excellent flavour! healthy street food. Would make this recipe ahead of time for a superbowl party too. Used all 4 sauces. ❤

[@49lucky]

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

[@MultiDeedee5]

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!

[@shamirandavid9451]

I agree with soaking the chickpeas overnight, huge difference in making the right authentic falafel

[@bearpawz_]

That sounds great! I've never made them before, but I bought some raw chickpeas today and will soak them later this week. 😋

[@trudybongers3534]

Mmmmmm delicious and yummy sooooo good... thanks for your recepice dear Jamie ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariafentis]

[@malina1239]

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😊

[@guilene6]

Merci 🙏🏻 Simple et appétissant !

[@user-vf5md3zn3m]

Wow looks great and thank you for the wonderful content. Any advice on preparing without frying in oil to minimize calories? Ie air fry or even baking?

[@sarahragaeisaleh]

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! 👌😋

[@KACHUKHA]

thanks for taking time to share this with us!

[@AnisOr2011]

Thanks for the tips, 😍😍😍Egyptian falafel is fantastic & tasty ,specially from Cairo streets

[@skoehler4999]

Can harissa paste be replaced with something else, like what kind of flavours does it have?

[@edrizkalla2724]

A great presentation, thank you for sharing. I prefer falafel made with "fava beans" instead of "chick peas", Egyptian style. Should you have tried it, I would be interested in your take on it. Again great presentation and thank you for sharing.

[@inepilou]

Lovely recepe, will try this! I make falafel with uncooked chickpeas (just soak dry chickpeas over night and put them in blender), no need for flower 🙂

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 😊

You can find it at basically any grocery store, or failing that, you can find it online. Allspice is, contrary to the name, a single-ingredient spice derived from a tree native to Central America.
