Falafel

So I went to a friends house and we had a middle eastern food for lunch! I LOVED it. Some people hate it some people love it. You already know how I felt about it so here we go.

1 lb chick peas, garbanzo beans, or split peas
1/2-1 cup chopped fresh parsley OR tbsp dried parsley
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic OR 1 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp cumin
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 cup flour
water for the right consistency

Food Process everything together. Make into balls and deep fry until nice and golden brown.

Serve in Pitas with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and dill sauce. See dill sauce recipe above.
