Falafel with green beans

Crispy tasty falafel with fried green beans.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 3/4 cup diced fresh mushrooms
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, with liquid
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and mushrooms, and fry until tender, stirring frequently.

Combine the garbanzo beans (with liquid) and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the mushrooms and onions. Mix in the cilantro, parsley, curry powder and cumin. Add the bread crumbs and mix until thoroughly blended. You can let the mixture sit in the refrigerator to blend flavors at this point, or go on to frying.

Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Form the bean mixture into 4 balls. Place the balls in the hot skillet, and fry for about 5 minutes, rolling them back and forth until nicely browned.

Green beans:

• 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• green beans

Just take some green beans and  put them on a preheated pan with olive oil, add salt and black pepper. Cover and fry 5-7 minutes.

Serve everything with olives and hot peppers!
