Directions

  1. 1

    Wash parsley, shake dry and chop. Drain chickpeas, rinse briefly and drain. Peel onions and garlic and chop finely. Finely mash the chickpeas, 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves and parsley.

  2. 2

    Mix with egg yolk, breadcrumbs and flour, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 pinch of cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and chill. Clean, wash and cut the aubergine into pieces. Heat the oil in a pot.

  3. 3

    Sauté the eggplant in it. Add 1 onion and 1 clove of garlic, fry and deglaze with tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes slightly. Bring to the boil, stir in broth. Season to taste with pepper and a little salt. Heat frying oil in a high pot to approx. 180 °C.

  4. 4

    For the yoghurt sauce, wash mint, shake dry and, except for a little to garnish, pluck leaves from the stems and cut into fine strips. Mix yoghurt, milk and mint, season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Form about 12 meatballs from the falafel mixture. Bake in hot frying fat in portions for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Arrange the falafel meatballs in tomato and eggplant vegetables.

  6. 6

    Add mint yoghurt. Flatbread tastes good with it.
