Ingredients
  • 1 pound Can chick-peas drained
  • 1 lg Onion chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    Combine the drained chickpeas, chopped onion, 1 large bunch of parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried hot red peppers, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon ground coriander or cumin in a food processor or blender.
  2. 2
    Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse, sticky paste, being careful not to over-process it into a smooth puree.
  3. 3
    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 1/2 to 1 cup of bread crumbs or fine bulgur until the mixture holds together firmly when squeezed into a ball.
  4. 4
    Shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  5. 5
    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  6. 6
    Carefully lower the falafel balls into the hot oil in batches, frying for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  7. 7
    Remove the falafel with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately as an appetizer with toothpicks, or place in warm pita bread topped with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.
