Lebanese Falafel







I love Falafel.
Falafel can be served as an appetizer with hummus and tahini or tzatiki, or as a main course. Stuff pita with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, tahini, salt and pepper. As a meat alternative, falafel can be formed into patties and served like a burger. 

Ingredients
2 cans Chickpeas
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
1tbsp olive oil
3tbsp fresh parsly
3tbsp fresh cilantro
1tsp corriander
1tsp cumin
2tbsp flour
1tsp baking powder
Salt

Method
Drain chickpeas, In a food processor, combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) add flour. Mix ingredients together until combined to a thick paste.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.

Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes).

Serve hot.
