Lazy College Kid's Easy Falafel

Yield: 2 servings

1 can garbanzo beans
1 small onion, finely minced
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
dash of red pepper
salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons flour

Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans and place in a medium bowl. Smush them up with a fork. I’ve used the bottom of a drinking glass to get things started and then mush them up some more with a regular fork. add the rest of the ingredients and stir well, until everything is evenly combined. Form into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and then flatten them a little bit. You can either fry them in a bit of canola/vegetable oil until they’re golden brown (they taste best this way!) or if you’re feeling lazy, like me, bake them in a preheated oven (i use my toaster oven) at 375 degrees until they’re golden brown, flipping them over about halfway. Serve on a pita with whatever falafel toppings you like.
