Falafel Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb chickpeas, soaked overnight in water
    3 garlic cloves, grated
    1 cup parsley, freshly chopped
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    2 teaspoons ground coriander
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 green onions, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons mint leaves, freshly chopped
    4 large Brussels sprouts, shredded
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
    4 tablespoons canola oil
    1/4 cup flour, for coating the falafel patties
Preparation
    Pour the chickpeas into a bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight.
    Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add them to a food processor with all ingredients except for oil and flour. Pulse until a grainy mixture forms. Scrape down the sides of the food processor frequently to ensure a good mix. Even though there are a lot of ingredients in common, this shouldn't have the same consistency of hummus. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
    Add oil to a small pan and raise to medium heat.
    Form the mixture into balls about the size of your palm; flatten out if making patties. Dip in flour, and pat all sides to remove any excess. Cook in pan until brown on all sides, flipping over after a few minutes.
    Serve with tzatziki sauce.
