Ingredients

Scale

Falafel Loaf:

  • 1 Lb Dried Chickpeas (Soaked Overnight, Do Not Use Canned)
  • 1 Medium Red Onion (Peeled and Quartered)
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 Cup Packed Fresh Parsley (Leaves)
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Tbsp Chickpea Flour (Also called Garbanzo Bean Flour)
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Chili Powder

Sriracha Tahini Sauce:

  • 1/2 Cup Tahini
  • 1/4 Cup Sriracha
  • 1 Lemon (Juice)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Water

Instructions

  1. The night before, add the dried chickpeas to a large bowl and cover with water. Make sure there is at least 3 inches of water above the chickpeas. Allow the chickpeas to soak overnight. 
  2. The day of, prepare the rest of the falafel ingredients. Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Add all of the falafel ingredients to a food processor and turn on high until mixture is well combined but a coarse consistency (See pictures).
  3. Allow mixture to sit for at least 1 hour before continuing. This allows the flavors to meld.
  4. Make the sriracha tahini sauce. Add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a small bowl and stir to combine thoroughly and set aside. 
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and fill with the falafel mixture. Press lightly to form the loaf. 
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the loaf is nicely browned on top. 
  7. Allow the loaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. 
  8. Serve with plenty of sauce and enjoy!
  9. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
