Falafel Ingredients:

• 100 g Monte Castello Chickpeas;
• 2 cloves of garlic;
• 1 onion;
• 2 sprigs of parsley;

Falafel:

Soak the Monte Castello chickpeas in a bowl with cold water for about 8 hours. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpeas for about 60 minutes, 30 minutes if using a pressure cooker. Once cooked, drain the chickpeas and transfer them to the blender with 2 peeled garlic cloves, the onion cut into pieces, the parsley leaves, a pinch of cumin and one of paprika, a teaspoon of coriander, a teaspoon of grated nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Blend while pouring extra virgin olive oil. When you have obtained a fairly smooth mixture, work it trying to obtain balls as large as walnuts and arrange them on a tray with baking paper. It is then necessary that the balls rest in the fridge for about two hours. Heat abundant frying oil in a high-sided pan and fry the prepared meatballs for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain them in a tray with kitchen paper and serve hot with the prepared sauce.
