Arabic 40 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- To make the toum yoghurt, juice 1 lemon. Place 3 cloves of garlic (approx. 20g) and 2 tbsp of lemon juice in a blender or food processor and blitz to form a paste. Slowly pour 50ml of olive oil into the garlic mixture with the blender running on high. Add in the yoghurt and blend until smooth. Season and refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- To make the baba ghanoush, place the aubergine in a roasting dish and, using a fork, pierce it a few times. Place the dish in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the aubergine is blistered and super soft inside. Allow to cool before peeling off the skin.
- Once cold, add the flesh to a blender along with 1 garlic clove, tahini, 1 tbsp olive oil (approx. 15ml), paprika, ½ tsp of sea salt, all of the juice of the other lemon and parsley and blitz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, if needed.
- Preheat the oil to 180°C.
- To make the falafel, drain and rinse the chickpeas and place in a food processor along with the cumin, turmeric, 1½tsp of salt, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, water, chickpea flour, baking powder as well as the baba ganoush. Blitz until smooth.
- Using a tablespoon, mould the mixture into even-sized balls.
- Drop the falafel in the hot oil and fry for approx. 5-10 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain the falafel on paper towels.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, roughly chop the cucumber, peel and finely slice the onion and toast the pine nuts.
- Serve the falafel with the toum yoghurt, tomatoes, cucumber, onions, pine nuts and coriander.
