Falafel
- 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
- 1/2 cup onion, rough chop
- 1- 1/4 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1/3 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- Salt to taste
Cucumber Yogurt Dip
- 2 cups yogurt
- 1-½ cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and shredded
- 2-½ tablespoons parsley
- 1-½ teaspoons garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place garbanzo beans and onion in a food processor and pulse until very fine. Remove from food processor and combine with remaining ingredients.
Form into 2 ounce balls (~1/4 cup). Place the falafel balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan and flatten slightly.
Bake 15-20 minutes until browned and crisp, turning half way through baking. While falafels bake, prepare dip by combining all ingredients and refrigerating to let flavors meld.
