Instructions

  1. 1 Mash the garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Stir in the onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, turmeric, baking powder, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Do not be afraid to use your hands. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls; you should get 18 to 24. If the mixture does not hold together, add a little water.
  2. 2 Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, and fry until brown. If you do not have a deep fryer, heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to adjust the heat slightly after the first couple of falafels, and be sure to turn frequently so they brown evenly.

  2. 2 Mince the garlic in a food processor, then add the onion, mint, salt, and pepper. Process until the onion is finely chopped.
  3. 3 Add the onion mixture to the bowl with the moist bread, along with the beef, lamb, and eggs. Mix with your hands until thoroughly blended.
  4. 4 Roll the mixture into balls measuring 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
  5. 5 Place the flour in a shallow pan, and roll the balls in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour, and place the meatballs onto a plate or baking sheet, pressing to flatten slightly. This will keep them from rolling away.
  6. 6 Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs, 8 or 10 at a time, and cook until nicely browned on the outside, and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Drain meatballs on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meatballs.

Instructions

  1. 1 For the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Prepare a medium bowl of ice water and set aside.
  2. 2 Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Boil mint leaves for about 10 seconds. Transfer mint leaves to the reserved ice water for 30 seconds. Drain and squeeze dry.
  3. 3 Combine mint with garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until coarsely chopped. Transfer mint mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and set aside.
  4. 4 Combine Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. 5 Slice 1/2 to 1-inch slits between each rib bone to ensure the meat roasts evenly. Season each rack with salt and black pepper on all sides. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown each lamb rack on meat side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer lamb racks to the foil-lined baking sheet, meat side up.
  6. 6 Brush each rack with reserved mustard-honey mixture. Sprinkle mint-bread crumb mixture evenly over top and sides of each rack, pressing lightly into meat so mixture adheres. Roast in the preheated oven until browned on top and medium-rare in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C).
  7. 7 Make the vinaigrette: Combine extra-virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a jar with a lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
  8. 8 Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the lamb.
