Healthy Falafel

Ingredients:

3½ cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 Tbsp ground flax seeds

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 carrot, grated

1 onion, diced

6 garlic cloves, mashed

4 Tbsp chickpea flour

1 tsp ground cumin

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

2 Tbsp tahini

3-4 Tbsp olive oil

Directions:

• Add the chickpeas to a food processor and process until they have a paste-like consistency.

• Move the chickpeas to a large bowl and stir in all the other ingredients, except the olive oil.

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and then make the patties using 1 Tbsp of the chickpea mixture per patty.

• Fry the falafels 2 minutes on each side and then place them on a plate covered with a paper towel, in order to absorb all the excess oil.
