Ingredients
- 3 garlic (cloves)
- 1 wheat bread (sliced)
- 1 egg (white)
- 1 flour
- 2 c garbanzo beans
- 3/8 c water
- 1 tb tahini
- 1 tb unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tb parsley
- 1/2 ts baking soda
- 1/2 ts salt
- 1/4 ts black pepper
- 1/4 ts cumin
- 1/2 ts turmeric
- 1/4 ts basil

Puree the garbanzos in a food processor or in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients, except the flour and mix well. The mixture will be soft. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls or patties and coat with flour. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. To make a falafel sandwich, cut a piece of pita bread in half and put 2 to 3 falafel balls or patties into the open halves. Add lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, sliced tomatoes, green onions and low-fat Yogurt Dressing or Tahini Dressing.
