Falafel

Ingredients

2 tins of boiled chickpeas 
1/4 red onion
A handful of fresh parsley
A handful of fresh coriander 
4 garlic cloves 
Pinch of cayenne pepper 
1 tsp cumin 
1 oz self-raising flour 
Salt and pepper 
Oil for frying

Directions

Rinse and drain the chick peas.
Add the chickpeas to a food processor along with all ingredients except the flour.
Process into a chunky paste but not too smooth
Place the mixture into a bowl and add the flour.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to blend.
Using a small measuring cup or scoop (about 2 Tbsp), form the falafel dough into small patties. 
Heat oil in a deep frying pan until very hot and shimmering, but not smoking. 
Cook the patties on each side until deep golden brown and crispy. 
Serve with salad inside a pita bread.
