INGREDIENTS:

1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons flour
Salt
Pepper
Oil for frying

PREPARATION:

Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.

Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.

Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour.

Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add flour.

Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.

Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes).

Serve hot.

Serving Suggestion
Falafel can be served as an appetizer with hummus and tahini, or as a main course. Stuff pita bread with falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, tahini, salt and pepper. As an alternative, falafel can be formed into patties and served like a burger.

VERY SIMPLE RECIPE:

- Buy red very ripe tomatoes and basil
these are from my garden
- wash and take away the seeds
- put into a pot or in a cooking mixer
- if you wish you can add carrots, onion and basil
I prefer basil only
- cook for about 20 minutes
- mix and grind
- put into glass pots, close them hermetically
- put the glass pots full of tomato sauce into a very large pot full of water
- make the water boiling
- boil for 20 minutes
- YOU CAN PRESERVE YOUR TOMATO SAUCE FOR ONE OR TWO YEARS IN YOUR STOREROOM AND USE AS YOU WISH...
