Chickpea Balls - Revithokeftedes image

This traditional Greek dish is similar to falafel, but with less spice and flavored with cheese and is usually served as an appetizer. They are very easy to make with dry chickpeas, but canned may be substituted. Use a cheese grater to mash the tomato. Servings are approximate. Time needed for soaking the chickpeas not included. Found online and posted for ZWT 6, Greece.

These chickpea balls were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.
