Falafel with Lemon Tahini Sauce

Falafel:
2- 15oz can chickpeas
1 – 15 oz can cannelini beans
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2-3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Lemon Tahini Sauce:
2 tablespoons tahini paste
zest and juice of 1 lemon
water to thin it out to your liking

Put all of the falafel ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. It should be very thick. Then, make it into patties however big you prefer.  I make them about the size of 2 teasoons.  Bake them on 400 for 20-30 minutes. Watch them during the last 10 minutes. They should dry out and be a bit browned.
