Ingredients
3 cups garbanzo beans104 grams (one bunch) of flat-leaf "Italian" parsley.25 tsp of kosher salt5 cloves of garlic1/2 cup of water1/2 tsp cumin1 tsp cayenne pepper
In large food processor, place washed parsley, stems and all, and top with the beans (about 3 cups of beans). Begin blending, adding water as needed to maintain a consistency slightly thicker than natural peanut butter. Once everything is blended into a paste of beige with green flecks throughout, add remaining ingredients.
If you want to bake the falafel, thin it out slightly with water, dish with 1/4 cup scoop onto a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray, and freeze until firm. Then, bake the sheet. You should end up with a little more than 12 count 1/4 cup sized falafel patties.
Bake at about 350 F for up to 25 minutes for desired firmness, flipping once about 15 minutes through. Alternatively, pan-fry in plenty of vegetable oil for 7-10 minutes, flipping once.
