  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or to taste
  • Oil for deep frying

Directions:

  1. In a food processor, put the garbanzo beans, parsley, mint, dill, green onion, and onion; process until a rough, coarse meal forms.
  2. Scrape down sides and process until the mixture is similar in texture between couscous and a paste.
  3. Transfer mixture into a bowl and add spices.
  4. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and deep fry in oil until brown.

Makes 50 falafels.
