Falafel (Middle Eastern Fast Food)

Ingredients

1 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked in water to cover overnight and drained
1 cup dried shelled fava beans, soaked overnight and drained
1/2 cup peeled and finely chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed (or equivalent garlic powder)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup garbanzo flour
1/4 cup fine bulghur (cracked wheet)
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 Tbs. salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Oil for deep-frying
Pita bread

Process

Run the drained garbanzo beans and fava beans through the fine blade on your meat grinder or in your food processor. Blend in all the remaining ingredients and let the mixture stand for 1 hour. Form into balls the size of walnuts. Deep-fry in 375� oil until toasty brown and crunchy on the outside, about 4 minutes.

Fill pita bread with Falafel and various salad ingredients such as: sliced tomatoes, Turkish salad, sliced onion, tahini, sliced cucumber, hot green peppers, lettuce.

Makes about 24 patties, enough for 6 sandwiches.

Falafel balls can also be served separately as appetizers with dips.
