These are really easy to make and so delicious. Perfect snack or appetizer food. Serve with a side of good ricotta.

Serves 4

1. Place beans, peas, watercress, parsley, ricotta, flour, salt, and pepper in a food processor and run until smooth.
2. Heat the oil in a large pot. It’s warm enough when you place a wooden spoon in it and it bubbles around it.
3. Make walnut-sized falafels and place in the oil.
4. Cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
