Green Pea and Chickpea Falafel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Can of Chickpeas, Drained and Rinsed
• 3/4 Cup of Frozen Peas, Shelled
• 1/2 Medium Red Onion, Chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves
• 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley Leaves
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
• 1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• ¼ Cup of All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Tablespoons of Grape seed Oil for Frying
• Salt and Red Pepper Flakes
• Garnish:
  • Tzatziki sauce
  • 2 Cups of Fresh Spinach

Preparation:

1. Combine all ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined, but not puréed. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
2. Heat about one tablespoon of the oil in the Calphalon Premier™ Stainless Steel 10” Fry Pan over medium heat.
3. Meanwhile, form the mixture into small patties. Prepare a paper towel lined baking sheet and set aside.
4. Fry the patties in batches without crowding the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
5. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to cool. Repeat with the remaining patties, and then serve with Tzatziki sauce over spinach.
