Falafel Macaron

Ingredients

Falafel shells

• 200 g chickpeas (canned, drained)
• 1 clove of garlic
• handful of fresh cilantro
• handful of fresh parsley
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander seed
• pinch of sea salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp flour

Filling

• 100 g hummus
• 2 tbsp tahini
• juice of half a lemon
• pinch of sumac, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Blend the chickpeas with garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and flour into a firm dough.
3. Shape small round discs from the dough, slightly smaller than a macaron. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the falafels for 15-18 minutes until firm and lightly golden brown.
5. Mix the hummus with the tahini and lemon juice into a smooth filling.
6. Let the falafels cool. Pipe or spoon the hummus filling onto half of the falafels and place a second falafel on top, like a macaron.
7. Sprinkle with sumac and serve immediately.
