Ingredients:
1 can garbanzo beans, drained and patted dry |
1/2 small onion, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup) |
2 cloves garlic |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, about a handful |
canola oil, for frying |
4 pita breads |
chopped tomato, for garnish |
shredded iceberg lettuce |
tahini sauce or hummus |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Form the falafel mixture into balls about the size of walnuts and press to flatten.
3. 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.
