Red Beet Falafel

I combined beets and chickpeas for some amazing falafel! Frying the beets like this really brings out their sweetness.
The flour helps hold the falafel together, but you could probably substitute other things like starch or non-wheat flours, but you may need to adjust the amount.
Serve in pita bread, tortillas or lettuce wraps.

Steps
- 1
Soak the chickpeas for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain before using. Peel the beets and garlic.
- 2
Slice the beets and garlic. Process in a food processor or blender with herbs and salt until finely ground up but not turned into a paste.
- 3
Remove the mixture to a bowl and mix in 3-4 Tablespoons flour until it stays together without falling apart when forming into round falafel. Form into about 10-12 oblong falafel.
- 4
Heat about 1 inch oil in a heavy pot or frying pot until hot (about 180C or 350-360F if measuring temperature). Fry falafel in batches.
- 5
Fry one side until lightly browned then turning over to fry other side. It took about 3-4 minutes on each side for me.
- 6
When they are finished, set on a rack or paper towels to drain off extra oil.
- 7
They're super pink inside! Serve with yogurt sauce, lettuce, honey mustard, cheese or other favorite topping in pita bread, tortillas or lettuce wraps.
