Ingredients

8 oz (225g) chick peas

1 onion, very finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 slice of white bread, soaked in a little water

1/4 tsp. cayenne

1 tsp. coriander, ground

1 tsp. cumin, ground

2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

salt, to taste

oil for frying

Directions

Soak the chick peas overnight.

Cover with plenty of fresh water and cook for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until tender.

Pound or blend the chick peas to a purée.

Squeeze out the bread and add to the chick peas together with the rest of the ingredients.

Knead well for a few minutes.

Let the mixture rest for 1-2 hours, then roll between the palms into firm 1” balls. (Wetted hands make this easier).

Heat oil (at least 1 inch deep) in a pan to about 360° F, 180°C,

fry the balls, a few at a time, until nicely brown all over — about 2-3 minutes.

Drain and serve hot with lemon wedges

Although falafel is made from chickpeas over here, in Lebanon it is usually made from dried fava beans, with a handful of dried chickpeas sometimes thrown in. Favas have a wonderful flavour, but if you can't find them, dried white beans, such as cannellini or navy, can be substituted.
