Ingredients
- 1 litre of oil of your choice, for deep frying
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 dusting of plain flour
- 1 al'fez lebanese style falafel mix
- 30 g of breadcrumbs, (we used pre-made panko)
Method
Step 1
For gooey yolks, boil the eggs for 5 mins. Douse in cold water before peeling.Step 2
Prepare the falafel mix in a bowl with 150ml cold water, mix well and leave to stand for 4-5 mins.Step 3
Get two plates and put flour on one and breadcrumbs on the other.Step 4
Roll the boiled eggs in the flour. Divide the falafel mix into three, then take one piece and flatten it onto your palm. Place a floured egg in the middle and shape the mixture around the egg, it may take a bit of coaxing. Make into a ball and roll it in the breadcrumbs to coat. Pat the crumbs in a little to stick, set aside and repeat.Step 5
Fill a saucepan halfway with oil over a high heat. When hot, cook a couple at a time for 1-2 mins, until crisp and golden. Remove, drain and serve.
