Ingredients

• 2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 green onions
• 1/2 t ground coriander
• 1 1/2 t cumin
• cayenne to taste
• 1/2 cup parsley
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/4 t black pepper
• 2 t lemon juice
• 3 T flour, if needed
• neutral oil for frying

Directions

1. Combine the beans, garlic, onions, spices, parsley, seasonings, and lemon juice in a food processor and grind it to hell. One cookbook recipe recommends letting the dough sit in the refrigerator to help dry it out. I tried this and had my falafel balls disintegrate upon frying. If this happens to you, you can cheat and stir in flour.

2. Roll the dough into golf ball-size balls.

3. Heat a few inches of oil to 350°F and gently drop a few falafel balls in. Let fry until brown, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
