Red Beet Falafel step by step

1. Soak the chickpeas for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain before using. Peel the beets and garlic..
2. Slice the beets and garlic. Process in a food processor or blender with herbs and salt until finely ground up but not turned into a paste..
3. Remove the mixture to a bowl and mix in 3-4 Tablespoons flour until it stays together without falling apart when forming into round falafel. Form into about 10-12 oblong falafel..
