This is not one of those.
I had about 2 cups of cooked chick peas. I had already made a curry, and the falafel idea didn't quite work as they kept falling apart. So, it needed a bit more to bind it. And it was bland.
I threw those 2 cups of garbanzos in my food processor, along with maybe 3/4 cup of a bit overcooked brown lentils, 3 garlic cloves, half a tomato and half a white onion, a chunk of red pepper, a few random slices of cuke, 2 rather smallish organic eggs (with insanely yellow yolks!) a few tablespoons of sesame seeds as well as poppy seeds, a palmful (1/4 cup?) of a corn/soy flour mix, salt, lemon pepper, red pepper flakes, grey salt, a few good shreds of fresh ginger, 1/4 cup of a green zatar blend (a middle eastern seasoning), a good glug of EEVO and a dash of sesame oil.
this made a batter like "dough". Let it sit and blend a short while. Go smoke a bowl, have a glass of wine, grab a quickie while the flavors marry. We'll wait.
...better? Hey you might wanna put that out, cigarettes will kill your tastebuds.
EEVO in the pan again. A nice cast iron skillet is best, but hey, work with what ya got.
Get it hot and just about to smoke, slap in a patty, then lower the flame. Let it brown nicely. maybe salt to lightly. When the edges are firm enough, drizzle in fresh oil, jack up the flame again and flip that baby. Just like you were getting flipped over while we were out here waiting, you hussy.
Smell good? Yeah, you bet it does. Repeat for as many as you like, and let drain on some paper. Get your hands outta there, I know where they've been. Geeze, let's be civil here!
Now, fuel up. Savor those bitches. NOM NOM, right? Fab. Now, I'm outta here!
