Makes 25

INGREDIENTS

½ lb dried chick peas, soaked for 24 hours
2 teaspoons cumin
½ lb dried fava beans, soaked for 24 hours
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 small onion, quartered
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ bunch scallions, roughly chopped
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 garlic cloves

PREPARATION

Heat 3” of canola or vegetable oil to 375˚F in a large pot. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Using the meat grinder attachment on a Kitchen Aid Mixer, start grinding ingredients until everything is the same size and texture. Once ground, form into small balls for frying. Once oil is up to temperature, start to fry falafel (be careful not to crowd, as temperature of oil will drop) about 6 balls at a time flipping occasionally until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
