Directions
  • First let's make our falafel mix. Add parsley, chickpeas, garlic, cumin flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor. Blend until a paste forms. Transfer mix to a bowl, cover and freeze for 20 minutes. You can also do this mix the night before and refrigerate until you're ready to cook.
  • While the falafel is in the fridge make the turmeric rice. Rinse the rice until water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
