Ffffffffalafel!

    As written, this just physically did not work for me - with no binding ingredient like breadcrumbs the falafel just fell to pieces. After adding some flour (was out of breadcrumbs), more salt and some chilli powder for some flavour these did turn out nicely and DH really enjoyed them. I couldn't taste the sumak at all which was a pity as it's such a great flavour. Sorry to give a low rating but they just weren't so good as per the recipe for my taste and I'm a huge falafel fan! On the bright side the tahini sauce was very nice and I'll make that again for sure!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    2
    Done

    3
    Done

    in a Food Processor, Process the Fresh Parsley First, Then Add the Onion and Chickpeas, Processing Until Smooth.

    4
    Done

    Next Add the Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, Salt, Garlic and Sumak. Process Until Mixed Well. Remove Mixture to a Large Bowl.

    5
    Done

    Pour the Oil Into a Heavy Pot to a Depth of 2 Inches. Heat to 375 Degrees. to See If Oil Is Ready to Fry the Falafel, Drop a Small Amount of the Garbanzo Mixture Into the Hot Oil, If It Sizzles Immediately the Pan Is Ready.

    6
    Done

    Form the Mixture Into Patties, About 1/4 Cup For Each Patty. (i Usually Oil My Hands to Form the Patties.) Cook in the Oil a Few at a Time Until the Outside of the Patty Forms a Golden Crust. (the Directions Offer the Suggestion That Some Cooks Poke a Hole Using a Straw or Chopstick in the Falafel Patty Before Frying to Allow the Heat to Penetrate the Center of the Patty For Ideal Frying.).

    7
    Done

    Drain the Cooked Patties on Paper Towels Before Serving.

    8
    Done

    the Patties Can Also Be Pan Fried Using Less Oil and by Flattening the Patties a Little With a Spatula to Help in Frying Them Thoroughly.

    9
    Done

    Serve With the Accompanying Tahini Sauce. These Are Delicious on Their Own or Filled Inside of Pita Bread or Tortillas.
