from scratch falafel |

Fast.
Easy. Ono. Especially good for the “I don’t feel like cooking” days because the food processor does all the chopping! Everything you could want in a weekday dinner, and meatless to boot. |

1 can garbanzo beans (white)
1 large onion, chopped 6 cloves of garlic Fresh parsley, to your taste (I like a little bit) Fresh cilantro, to your taste (I like a lot, half a bunch or so) 2t cumin 2t coriander Juice of a lemon A good handful or so of breadcrumbs—green onion, panko, sourdough, or your favorite Hawaiian salt and black pepper, to taste Hot pepper sauce, to taste (Sriracha or your favorite) Canola oil, for frying |
Dipping Sauce
Plain yogurt Cucumbers, finely sliced Hot pepper sauce to taste A little lemon juice Recommended Accessories Pita bread Lettuce Tomatoes Cucumber slices |
Put everything (except dipping sauce ingredients) in a food processor until it is the consistency paste. If necessary, add a bit of water to hold things together. Form little balls or patties. Fry in oil until brown and crunchy crust forms. While spheres are the traditional shape, patties use less oil.
Mix yogurt, remaining lemon juice, cucumbers and hot sauce. Eat with yogurt sauce, and pitas, lettuce, tomatoes and sliced cucumbers.
