fresher, and lighter direction
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, celery, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and spices.
Process until the mixture is well incorporated and starting to smooth out, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Then add the oats and pulse a few times to work them in.
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes if possible (refrigerating will make it firmer and easier to shape, but not essential).
Take small scoops of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and form into balls. Using a cookie scoop is helpful, but you can use your hands, rinsing when needed to keep the mixture from sticking to your palms.
Once finished, place the flour (if using) in a bowl. Add the falafel balls to the bowl and lightly toss, then toss a moment in your hand to remove any excess clumping of flour.
Prepare a nontoxic, nonstick skillet over medium or medium-high heat.
Place the falafel balls in the pan, flattening them slightly with a spatula, and cook for 6 to 9 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisped on the outside, working in batches, if needed.
Serve, topped with Smoky Tahini Sauce.
Chickpeas
If using chickpeas you've cooked yourself from dry they can sometimes have less moisture than canned and make the blended mix too dry. If it is not coming together before adding the oats (it’s too crumbly), add a smidgen of water - a teaspoon at a time until it just comes together. With canned chickpeas, you should not need to add extra water.
