Spicy Falafel

Directions

Process garbanzo beans, onion, garlic, bread, cumin and chilies in a blender or food processor until smooth, then spoon mixture into a bowl.

Add parsley, salt, pepper and egg; mix well.

Form in 8 balls and coat in bread crumbs.

Flatten balls slightly to form oval shapes.

Half fill a deep fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375℉ (190℃).

Fry Falafel, a few at a time, 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.

Cut pita bread in half and open to form pockets.

Put 1 Falafel into each pocket with lettuce, onion and tomato slices and serve hot.
