Ingredients 

• ⁠1 400g can chickpeas, drained + rinsed⁠

• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped⁠

• 1/2 cup fresh coriander, chopped⁠

• 3 green onions, chopped⁠

• 2 cloves garlic, minced⁠

• 2 tbsp chickpea flour (or all-purpose flour)⁠

• 1 tsp ground cumin⁠

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, and garlic. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.⁠

3. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.⁠

4. Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the falafel patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.⁠

5. Once cooked, transfer the falafel to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.⁠

6. Serve the falafel hot with your favourite dipping sauce, pita bread, and fresh vegetables.⁠
