Nope! After soaking, you just continue with the recipe in the food processor 🙂

I love all your recipes. I found this recipe just in time for a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/Indian potluck I am attending. I was wondering if the garbanzo beans have to be cooked after soaking?

Jill, I have to agree…this is a wonderful recipe. That’s why it’s going in my cookbook 😉 I do think the soaked beans is what makes these falafel have the texture that they do. Just a hunch, though 🙂 So glad you loved them!

Much better texture than other low fat falafels I’ve made. Is it because of the soaked chickpeas as opposed to canned? Either way such an amazing dinner!
