Directions:
- Soak the garbanzo beans overnight, but no longer than 12 hours. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare the tahini sauce and set aside.
- In a food processor, process the fresh parsley first, then add the onion and chickpeas, processing until smooth.
- Next add the pepper, cumin, coriander, salt, garlic and sumak. Process until mixed well. Remove mixture to a large bowl.
- Pour the oil into a heavy pot to a depth of 2 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. To see if oil is ready to fry the falafel, drop a small amount of the garbanzo mixture into the hot oil, if it sizzles immediately the pan is ready.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 1/4 cup for each patty. (I usually oil my hands to form the patties.) Cook in the oil a few at a time until the outside of the patty forms a golden crust. (The directions offer the suggestion that some cooks poke a hole using a straw or chopstick in the falafel patty before frying to allow the heat to penetrate the center of the patty for ideal frying.).
- Drain the cooked patties on paper towels before serving.
- The patties can also be pan fried using less oil and by flattening the patties a little with a spatula to help in frying them thoroughly.
- Serve with the accompanying tahini sauce. These are delicious on their own or filled inside of pita bread or tortillas.
