Directions:
- Soak chickpeas in hot water until doubled in size - about 2 hours (I often let them soak overnight) Place in a food processor and chop finely.
- Add remaining ingredients down through red pepper and process until the mixture is coarsely pureed. Remove to a bowl and and stir in flour.
- With wet hands, form the chickpea mixture into patties. Oval patties will fit in pita halves best. I try to make 8 patties. Let stand for 15 minutes. While you're waiting, combine sauce ingredients (if making) and set aside.
- Pour oil in large skillet and heat. Saute patties until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels if necessary.
- To serve: Warm pita breads in oven or microwave. Cut in half and open the pocket. Place a falafel patty in each half pita, garnishing with lettuce, tomato, and sauces as desired.
- Warning: I tried to make these with canned garbanzos. They were not very good - the texture was mushy, and the beans lacked the nutty taste that these get from the dried beans.
