Cauliflower Falafel Balls

It's Week 12 of the @steemit-ironchef challenge here on STEEM. The special ingredient for this week is Cauliflower. This ingredient is uncharted territory for me, as I don't think I've ever had cauliflower in the house. I decided to make Cauliflower Falafel Balls. Here's the recipe in a few simple steps:

Ingredients

1 Can of Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
1 Half of a Large Cauliflower
4 Cloves of Garlic
1/2 Cup of Chopped Parsley
1/2 Cup of Chopped Mint
1 Cup of Chopped Cilantro (Coriander)
1 Tablespoon of Ground Cumin
1 Teaspoon of Ground Coriander
1 Teaspoon of Ground Paprika
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
Olive Oil for Frying

Step 1: Chop the Cauliflower

Roughly chop the Cauliflower into small pieces and process in a blender/food processor.

Step 2: Add the Chickpeas Herbs and Spices

Add the chickpeas, fresh chopped herbs and spices. Process until well blended.

Step 3: Mix in Large Bowl

Pour the blended mix into a large bowl and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4: Form Balls

Create small balls from the mixture and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Don't be afraid to leave them overnight.

Step 5: Fry 'Em

Fry the falafel balls in olive oil. Keep turning them to ensure they cook on all sides.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve alongside some Tzatziki or Toum for dipping. Both are glorious. In this picture I served them with Tzatziki.

Let me know what you think!
