Ingredients
1 can garbanzo beans 2 shallots, chopped 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes 4 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon baking powder 4-6 Tablespoons gf flour Canola oil for frying
Directions
Place the garbanzo beans in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the shallots, parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.
Add the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of gf flour, and pulse. You want to add enough flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours. Form the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts.
Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a deep pot or wok and fry 1 ball to test. If it falls apart, add a little flour. Then fry about 6 balls at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve falafel with hummus and fresh veggies.
