HELP NEEDED FOR FALAFEL

>>9098001
depends on the recipe.

If it says, take one cup and soak them overnight, do that.
If it says take one cup of soaked chickpeas, do that.

From what you've said it sounds like the latter.

>>9098018

When you say the latter, you mean the latter of the options in the post you just wrote, right? (as opposed to the OP)

>>9098048
Yes.
Also, well aware of what I was doing.

>not activating his peas
It doesn't matter since it'll be shitlafel anyway

>>9098001
I love falafel, but man the gas I get is unreal.

Maybe the beans weren't sprouted or cooked enough ??????

>getting gas from chickpeas

Just how white are you buddy

>>9098256
It has nothing to do with your skin color. If you eat beans every day you won't get gas from them, but if you only eat them occasionally you will.

>>9098265
Ain't nobody gets gas from chickpeas, cakeboy
That's just sad

>>9098256

I'd rather be white and get occasional gas from chickpeas instead of being a shitskin or sandnigger.

There's white and then there's "gets gas from chickpeas and thinks tomatoes are too spicy" white.

Fuck, they turned out kind of bland/dry.

The proper taste was definitely there, but it was just too subtle.

Perhaps I overcooked them? I did 10 minutes on 1 side, 10 on the other, at 400 degrees.

I only added a tiny, tiny bit of salt since I want to watch my sodium, so I'm not sure if that played a factor either.

Did you add fuckloads of cumin? I think you're supposed to add fuckloads of cumin.

My recipe (from quite an expensive cookbook) called for 1/2 teaspoons of cumin. But I doubled it to 1 teaspoon along with everything else since I had double the amount of chickpeas the recipe called for.

That much cumin seemed about consistent with another couple of recipes I compared it with online.

I also put 3 teaspoons of garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh parsely, 1 teaspoon ground corriander, 1 cup of of diced onion, 1 tbsp EVOO oil. Instead of breadcrumbs or flour I used a bit of ground flaxseed.

My goddamn Vitamix did a shitty job of blending it though. It overblended it (which isn't my fault, but hard to explain). I don't think that should affect the final taste though, just texture.

This is what it looked like after blending. Although I did see other falafel recipes instructing to blend until smooth, so I don't think "overblending" should've affected the taste very much at all.
