Rinse chickpeas and toss them into a food processor with the parsley, white onion, and garlic. Add the flour, salt, ground cumin and cayenne pepper before mixing. You want it to look like a paste with few chunks.<\/p>\n<p>Once it is fully mixed, put the mixture into a bowl and let it sit in the fridge for one hour. While it\u2019s sitting, put all the sauce ingredients into the food processor and blend until it is sauce-like (simple enough!).<\/p>\n<p>Once the falafel mixture has cooled, form into small discs. Grab a pan and the olive oil and cook the falafel on each side on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Now serve! Place the falafel on naan bread and pour the sauce on top. Add tomatoes and red cabbage if you\u2019re feeling adventurous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s some kind of magic in creating a meal out of basic ingredients.
