From: scrume@magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Stephen K Crume)
Subject: OVO: Falafel
I got this recipe (untried) from _The Book of Hot & Spicy Foods_ by Louise
Steele.
1 (13-oz.) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 onion, cut in fourths
2 cloves garlic
4 slices fresh white bread, cubed
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
4 small dried red chilies, crushed
1 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup dry fine bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep frying
4 pieces pita bread, warmed
Shredded lettuce
Onion slices
Tomato slices
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 fryer or sauce pan with oil; heat to 375F(190C) or
until a 1/2-inch cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds. 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. Make 8 servings.
Other recipes in this book have been very successful; this one should
as well.
