~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff Smith: "Frugal Gourmet-Our Immigrant Ancestors"
 
1 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked in water to cover overnight and drained
1 cup dried shelled fava beans, soaked overnight and drained
1/2 cup peeled and finely chopped yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 cup water
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup garbanzo flour (also called "ceci" flour, found in Italian markets)
1/4 cup fine bulgur
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
3/4 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Oil for deep frying
 
Run the drained garbanzo beans and fava beans through the fine blade on
your meat grinder or in your food processor. Blend in all the
remaining
ingredients and let the mixture stand for 1 hour.
 
Form into little patties 1/3 inch thick and 1-1/2 inches round. Or, you can
form them into balls the size of walnuts. Deep-fry in oil until toasty brown and crunchy on the outside, about 4 minutes.
