Falafel [0000053]

Ingredients:

1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 large onion, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Gluten-free chickpea flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour, as needed for binding

Steps:

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until well combined but not pureed; it should have a coarse texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add enough gluten-free chickpea flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour to form a dough that holds together.
Shape the mixture into small patties or balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the cooked falafel on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free Authentic Middle Eastern Falafel with your favorite gluten-free tahini sauce or yogurt-based sauce.
