INGREDIENTS

Makes 18-20 1-inch falafel

2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup red onion, chopped

¼ cup parsley

4 cloves garlic, peeled

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 cup bread crumbs

Oil, for frying

Optional

Pita bread

Tomatoes

Cucumber

Lettuce

Pickles

Hummus

Tahini sauce

PREPARATION

# To the bowl of a 2-quart food processor, add chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Pulse the ingredients together until they are just incorporated and form a wet paste. Be careful not to over-blend ingredients.

# Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs, mixing until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

# Remove the chilled falafel mixture from the refrigerator and being shaping it into balls. The mixture should yield 18 to 20 1-inch falafel balls.

# In a large frying pan with high sides, heat about 1-inch of oil for frying.

# Heat the oil over high heat, and fry falafel balls for 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Once golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

# Plate falafel as desired, either as a sandwich, salad topping, or over a bed of greens with a side of tahini sauce.

# Enjoy!
