Ingredients
2 cups Garbanzo beans (canned) drained (about 1-1/2 14 oz. cans)1/3 cup, Onions, raw, finely chopped2 clove Garlic, minced2 tbsp fresh Parsley, minced1 tbsp fresh Cilantro, minced (optional)1 tsp Coriander, ground1 tsp Cumin , ground1/4 tsp Turmeric, ground (optional)1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1 cup Bread crumbs, dry,1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper(some freshly ground Pepper, optional)Water if neededFlour for rolling the Falafel inOil for frying (at least 1 cup)
Mash the garbanzo beans with a fork on a plate, then put in a large bowl. Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, (and optional cilantro), coriander, cumin (optional turmeric), baking powder, bread crumbs, salt, lemon pepper, (and optional extra pepper). Don't be afraid to use your hands. Shape the mixture into 1-1/2 inch balls. If the mixture does not hold together, add a little water. Roll the balls in flour.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 325 F - or use a deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat. ( I used an electric fry pan.) Add a few balls of Falafel at a time. You may need to adjust the heat slightly after the first couple of falafels, and be sure to turn frequently so they brown evenly.
Serving Size: 1/6 recipe - about 6 balls
