Ingredients:

Serving

1 can garbanzo beans, drained and patted dry
1/2 small onion, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
canola oil, for frying
4 pita breads
chopped tomato, for garnish
shredded iceberg lettuce
tahini sauce or hummus

Directions:

Combine all falafel ingredients except oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse mixture until coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl or container and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.
Form the falafel mixture into balls about the size of walnuts and press to flatten.
Heat 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a deep pot or deep fryer. Fry about 6 balls at once for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Stuff each pita with 4 falafel balls, chopped tomatoes, lettuce, and tahini.
