Carrots (Chopped, 64 grams)

⅓ medium White Onion (Chopped, 35 grams)

Cilantro

Use your hands or a cookie scoop to shape falafel mixture into small balls or patties and place in air fryer basket or prepared baking sheet.

Air fry at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or Bake for 25 minutes, flipping half way, until golden brown and crisp. See notes for frying.

Combine all ingredients for sauce in a bowl.

Serve falafel with the cool sauce and a warm pita!

I made this recipe today and it was amazing.
I actually had some veggie pulp leftovers from juicing (beetroots, celeriac, carrots and apples).
I first blended the soaked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, onion and spices, then just stirred in the veggie pulp. I adjusted the spices, added a bit more cumin, cayenne pepper and cardamom powder.
I shaped the mixture into balls and baked them for 30 minutes flipping halfway. They looked golden brown, but were not crispy. I didn’t mind though. 
In the yoghurt sauce I added just a touch of salt and pepper and a bit more garlic.
This combination was indeed BOMB! I couldn’t stop eating!
Thank you for sharing this recipe.?

Pressure-can chickpeas at home and stock your pantry with these delicious legumes. Canning chickpeas will save you time and money—they are ready to use anytime you need them.

How to Can Chickpeas

1.65 lb dried chickpeas (more or less as wanted)

¼ tsp salt

water (to soak the chickpeas, to fill the jars, and to fill the canner)

Soak the dried chickpeas in a large bowl with cold water for 12-24 hours. They will double in size.

Drain the soaking water and sort through the chickpeas, discarding any that are bad. Rinse the soaked chickpeas well under running water.

Soak the chickpeas

Inspect your jars for cracks or chips and the lids and bands for dents or rust. Make sure your pressure canner has a canning rack and that the vent pipe and gasket (rubber seal) are free of obstructions.

Wash the jars, lids, and other canning tools thoroughly in hot, soapy water. Rinse them well.

To sterilize the clean jars, place them in a large pot (or canner) with boiling water for 10 minutes. Keep them hot until you are ready to fill them.

Boil some fresh water. Prepare your work surface by using a large wooden board or laying out clean towels.

Prepare the tools

Take a sterilized jar with the jar lifter and empty it of all the water. Place it on your work surface and position the canning funnel in the jar opening.

Fill a 1-pint jar with 1 cup of soaked chickpeas, leaving about 1-inch headspace. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Fill the jar with fresh boiling water, keeping the 1-inch headspace. Use the bubble remover to remove the air bubbles. Add some more water if needed.

Wipe the jar rims with a clean kitchen cloth and white vinegar. Use the magnetic wand to position the lid on top of the jar, and close the band finger-tight only.

Repeat the above steps until all the jars are filled and closed.

Fill the jars

Place the canner on the stovetop and fill it with the required amount of water (usually 2-3 inches—check your manufacturer&#39;s manual). Bring the water to a simmer.

Place the filled jars in the canner, making sure they don&#39;t touch each other or the wall. Lock the canner lid, but leave the weight off the vent pipe. Turn the heat to high and allow steam to flow from the vent pipe for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, close the vent or place the pressure regulator weight on the vent pipe. Rise the pressure until it reaches the correct level according to your altitude (minimum 10 PSI).

When you have reached the proper pressure, start a timer and process for 75 minutes for pint-sized jars (or 90 minutes for quart-sized jars). Adjust the heat to maintain a steady pressure throughout the processing if needed.Make sure to monitor the pressure gauge consistently—it needs steady pressure. If it drops below the recommended level, you need to bring the pressure back and restart the timer.

Once the processing time is over, turn off the heat and allow the canner to depressurize naturally. Wait until the pressure gauge reads zero, and then wait an extra few minutes.

Carefully remove the weight from the vent pipe to ensure no steam remains. Wait another 10 minutes before finally unlocking and carefully removing the lid (making sure to tilt it away from your face).

Process the chickpeas

Remove the jars from the canner without tilting them. Place them on a flat surface and let them cool untouched for 12-24 hours.

On the next day, you can inspect the seals—the lids should be concave and not flex when pressed. If using removable bands, you can remove them. Then, wipe the jars clean and label them with the contents and dates.

Store the canned chickpeas in a cool, dark place for up to 18 months. Each pint jar yields about 1.5 cups of cooked chickpeas.

Cool and store the jars

Very happy with how my chickpeas turned out. We had a hummus contest for Easter. They were all so different &amp; unique I couldn’t pick a favorite. Can this recipe be used with other dried beans as well. I want to try kidney &amp; black beans. Thanks!
