Falafel
vegetarian

What you need:

2 cans Garbanzo Beans (chick peas)
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely minced onion or 6 minced scallions
1/4 cup (packed) minced parsley
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs lemon juice
dash of cayenne
1/3 cup flour

What you do:

Rinse the garbanzos and drain them well.
Combine all ingredients (except flour) in a food processor or a medium sized bowl and process or mash until batter is uniform.
Add flour and stir/process until thoroughly combined. 
The batter can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container for days.
 
Preheat oven to 400F.
Spray baking pan with non-stick spray for best results
Form the batter with a spoon into a flattened ball.  It should not be much bigger than your spoon.
Bake them for about 20-25 minutes.
You might flip them over halfway through baking.
They're finished when they are golden brown.
 
Serve these in pita bread with sliced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes
For a felafel in a small pita bread, make 2-3 felafel patties.
For a larger one, 4-5 will do.
