Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained; 1/2 cup onion, minced; 4 garlic cloves; 2 teaspoons cumin (I usually add a bit more for stronger flavor); 1 teaspoon turmeric; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 dashes cayenne pepper; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped and packed; 1/4 cup water; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/3 cup flour; oil, for pan frying (I use olive oil which works great)

Servings: persons

2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup onion, minced
4 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons cumin (I usually add a bit more for stronger flavor)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
3 dashes cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped and packed
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup flour
oil, for pan frying (I use olive oil which works great)

1
Place all ingredients except flour in a food processor.
2
Blend until the consistency is uniform.
3
Thoroughly mix flour into the felafel batter with a spoon.
4
Heat a heavy skillet and add oil to coat completely. Wait until oil is heated and water sizzles upon contact when sprinkled into pan.
5
Drop tablespoons of the batter into the oil, flattening slightly with a spatula like a small thick pancake. When bottoms are crispy and browned, flip them over.
6
Place cooked felafel on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any residual oil.
7
Keep warm in a 300 degree oven if not serving immediately.
8
***Note: Felafel may be deep fried, but use a standard vegetable oil as opposed to olive oil which does not have a high heat tolerance.
