Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine
Discard any brown skin from each soaked bean if necessary and in a food
processor fitted with a steel blade puree the beans until fine. Add the
scallions, parsley, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, baking powder, and
cayenne and blend the mixture to as smooth a paste as possible. The mixture
will remain grainy. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it stand,
covered, for 30 minutes.
Form the fava bean mixture into eighteen 1 1/2-inch round patties and
arrange them in one layer on waxed paper. In a deep fryer heat 2 1/2-inches
vegetable shortening to 375 degrees and fry the falafel in batches for 1 to
2 minutes, or until it is golden brown, transferring it with a slotted
spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Heat the pita pockets in foil
in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Fill each pita with 3 of the
falafel, top with a heaping spoonful of the chopped vegetable salad and the
sesame dressing on the side.
Yield: 6 sandwiches

juice, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a slow stream,

vegetables and toss the salad until combined well.
Yield: 3 1/2 cups
