Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 31 ounces canned chickpeas
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons Cumin
  • 1 pinch cayenne (and I mean a pinch!)
  • 2 Tablespoons Coriander
  • 1/3 cup cilantro (finely chopped )
  • 2/3 cup parsley (finely chopped )
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 squeeze lemon juice (from a lemon)

Instruction

  • Mash the chickpeas with a potato masher in a large bowl. Once they are all mashed well add the baking powder, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, parsley, cilantro, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice and mix well.
  • Form the Mixture into patties, I make small, round patties that I can fit into pita bread.
  • Heat enough vegetable oil in a pan so that the falafel has enough room to float over medium high heat.
  • Cook the falafel in oil just until they are golden brown and pull them out and drain them on paper towels.
  • Serve as desired.
