Ingredients

1 cup Chic peas

Preparation

For falafel, drain and rinse 1 cup chick peas that have been soaked overnight in fresh water. Grind them in a food processor. Soak 1 slice white, crust-less bread in water and squeeze dry. Chop with 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons parsley. Add to the chick peas. Add 1/4 cup bulgar

(rinsed and drained), 1/2 teaspoon each of coriander, cumin and pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Heat oil in a large pot. Form chick pea mixture into small balls and deep fry 2 to 3 minutes.

Serves 8.
