someone brought pita bread to my house. the best thing to eat with pita bread, beside gyros, is falafels. i knew they'd be easy to make. they were even easier ro make than i thought! i missed falafels. i missed that flavor so much.
* 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained * 1 medium onion, finely chopped * 1 tablespoon minced garlic * 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped * 1 teaspoon coriander * 3/4 teaspoon cumin * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 2 tablespoons flour * oil for frying (canola or vegetable) Preparation: Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add flour and combine well. Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be 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 (2-5 minutes).
i didn't have any fresh coriander (cilantro) or parsley so i added half of what the recipe called for in dry cilantro and parsley. i added a little more cumin to get the flavor just right. they came out perfect. i didn't have any tahini or cucumber yogurt sauce so i just topped it with a little honey mustard dressing. it was actually pretty good with the falafel.
