Yummy falafel recipe

Falafel is made by grinding chickpeas aka garbanzo beans, adding spices, and frying or baking. It has a somewhat nutty, sweet texture. It is a very satisfying food. Despite sometimes eating it in a gyro or pita bread with veggies, my favorite way to eat it remains. I like to dip it in ketchup. I know, I know, that's not fancy- but that's what I like. :o)



On to the yummy recipe.....



You will need:

1 16 oz bag of dried chickpeas, rinsed and soaked overnight

1 diced onion

2 tsp. crushed garlic

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. curry powder <------ not as good without it!

1 tbsp. dried parsley

2 tbsp unbleached flour <------ to hold mixture together, alternately you can use an egg





You will not precook the chickpeas for this recipe. Once the chickpeas have soaked for at least 8 hours, drain them:
