Ingredients
Preparation
(From: Whole Foods for the Whole Family) Mix mashed beans with next 12 ingredients in bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing to form a semisoft consistency. Shape into 1-inch balls or small patties; coat with flour. Brown in oil in skillet; drain. Serve hot with pita rounds, yogurt, sliced tomatoes, lettuce and sprouts. May add 8 oz. mashed tofu if desired. May substitute oil for tahini. This traditional Middle Eastern treat makes a great picnic food: you can reheat it in foil over a campfire. Yield: 8 servings.

END OF OFFICIAL RECIPE FROM COOKBOOK Keep in mind that this is a book designed for a healthier eating pattern. If you dont have whole wheat, regular flour will do. And as some have pointed out, this dish is usually deep-fried. Keep in mind also (I suspect that this is fair warning to all) the servings are small. My husband and I find that we often end up eating a double serving, so an eight serving recipe actually ends up being a four serving recipe in my house (we love to eat). See, I told you this is a good book to find odd recipes. I just had to look up chick-peas. Posted to FOODWINE Digest 29 October 96 Date: Wed, 30 Oct 1996 07:57:04 -0400 From: "J. Meade"
