Falafel


1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
3 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 gloves of garlic, crushed
2 large eggs
1 (15 oz) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
4 tablespoons oil

Place all ingredients, except oil into a food processor. Process mixture until smooth. Divide mixture into 18 equal portions, and shape each portion into a patty. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add patties and cook about 5 minutes on each side or until patties are browned.
Serve with Tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and feta cheese on pita bread. You can either wrap the falafel and fixing up in the pita bread or you and get pocketed pita bread and serve it that way. For the sauce, I use a store bought. I have tried many at hope recipes, but in the end I always end up preferring the sauce I buy at Trader Joe's
