Herb & Pistachio Falafel



I found this amazing recipe from Green Kitchen Stories and I thought I might share. Very easy to make and the mint and parsley go well together. 


Herb & Pistachio Falafel

5 Leafs Fresh Mint
5 Springs Fresh Parsley
1 Cup Pistachio
1 Cup Garbanzo Beans
1/2 small onion
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon cumin 
1 Tablespoon Flour 
1 teaspoon baking powder

Start by blending the herbs in a mixer for about 30 seconds. Add pistachio nuts and pulse until well combined. Rinse the garbanzo beans. Add them and the rest of the ingredients into the mixer and blend for about a minute. Youmight have to stir around with a spoon occasionally. Try to keep the texture of the falafel dough a little rough. Make 24 small round falafels, place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes on 375°F/200°C, turn every 5 minutes to get an even brown color.

Enjoy!
