Prep time: Mediterranean
Cook time: Servings: 4

Goes Well With: red wine

Ingredients

  • 1 28oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tbsp cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp Tahini paste
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 small red onion
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Using a potato masher, mash ¼ can of chickpeas in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine the rest of chickpeas and all the other ingredients in a food processor.
  4. Pulse until combined.
  5. Form into small round shaped patties and bake about 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. (Tip: To get falafel to stay moist on the inside and brown up faster I put them under the broiler for the last 3 minutes)
  6. Serve over a bed of greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and fat free feta. Drizzle with Tahini Dill Dressing.
