Falafel and Cucumber Sauce

This one is super easy, cheap and a family favorite! It is Mrs. Hock's recipe and is great! Enjoy!
(P.S.-be sure to add the cucumber sauce and tomatoes!)

Ingredients:
1 15 ounce can chickpeas
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley (I've used dry and it is okay.)
2 cloves garlic
1 egg
2 teas ground cumin
1 teas ground corriander
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper (I like a little more than pinch)
1 teas lemon juice
1 cup dry bread crumbs

Mix all ingredients in a food blender. Form into flat patties about 2 inches in diameter. Heat oil in frying pan and cook each patty until brown on each side. Serve inside pita bread with cucumber sauce and fresh tomatoes.

Cucumber Sauce:
6 ounces plain yogurt
1/2 cucumber peeled, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon dried dill weed (I tend to add a little more)
1 tablespoon mayonaise
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together and serve.
