Seriously one of my best finds yet. Falafel can be found at one of my favorite little spots here in Fayetteville, Petra. So, I found this recipe and am in LOVE. A seriously easy easy easy way to make this falafel in a crock pot. That's right....crock pot. I got the recipe from this girl who does all her meals on the crock pot. Here's her blog with the falafel recipe. Here is the printable recipe.

| Smash the garbanzo beans like mashed potatoes. |
 |
| All of the spices, egg, onion, lemon---blended together. |
Ingredients:
- 1 15oz can garbanzo beans (chick peas)
- 1/2 onion, chopped
-1 T dried parsley
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 egg
- 1 t kosher salt
- 1/4 t black pepper
- 2 t ground cumin
- 1 t ground coriander
- 1/4 t cayenne pepper
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 T olive oil (for the bottom of your crock)
Directions: Set your crock pot on high. Pour about 2 Tablespoons of oil in the crockpot. Drain garbanzo beans into a bowl. I used my potato masher ---mashed the beans until all the beans are completely mashed. Set those aside. Then put all those spices, onions, egg and onion into the blender. Blend that all up. Pout that mixture onto the beans. Add in the bread crumbs. Make little patties and place them into crockpot. Let the patties turn to perfect falafel babies in your crock pot on high for about 3.5- 4 hours.
