Makes about 4 dozen small patties
2 cups chickpeas, soaked overnight and drained
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 cup finely chopped parsley
1 cup finely chopped green onions
1 egg
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
oil for frying
Place chickpeas in food processor and process for about a minute. Add remaining ingredients, except oil, and process until a dough-like paste is formed. Make into small patties, then deep fry and serve warm.
Note: Falafel are best eaten as sandwiches by placing patties in a bed of eggplant purée and tomato salad in pita bread, cut in half and the halves made into pouches.
