Falafel Preparation

1. Prepare the Falafel Mixture

In a food processor, combine the canned black beans, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Process until blended but still slightly chunky.

2. Form the Falafel Balls

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour until well combined. Form small balls or patties with your hands, about 1-2 inches in diameter.

3. Fry the Falafel

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

4. Mix the Tzatziki Ingredients

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and chopped dill. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
