 This is a  great snack or lunch recipe.  Everyone seems to like these veg.
morsels.

 Title: Falafel (Lebanese)

 Categories: Ethnic, Vegetarian

      Yield: 12 Servings



      1 lb Chick peas; (soaked for 24 h

      1 med Onion

      1 med Potato; peeled

      4    Garlic cloves

      1 tsp Ground coriander

      1 tsp Cumin

      2 tsp Salt

    1/2 tsp Pepper

    1/2 to 1 tsp Cayenne

      1 Tbsp Flour

           Vegetable oil for frying

      2 tsp Baking soda



Drain chick peas. Quarter onion and potato. Run all through fine

holes of the meat grinder along with the garlic two times. Add all

remaining ingredients except baking soda and vegetable oil. Mix well.

Run through grinder once more. Mix again. Cover and leave to rest for

two to three hours. Heat oil for deep frying. While oil is heating

add baking soda to the chick pea mixture. With dampened hands, form

mixture into balls the size of a walnut, then flatten slightly into a

patty. Deep fry, making sure patties are cooked through and are

golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper

towels.

These are good w/tahini/yoghurt sauce with Pita bread.  Sometimes I add some
additional sumac and chiles to the sauce as well.  You can buy chickpea flour,
but they are better made from scratch.
