Anyway, in my version I took everything mentioned and blended it together with my fabulous immersion blender. I know the recipe recommends you let the veggies "rest," but I didn't, and everything turned out fine. I actually needed some of the water because the mixture got too tacky. I used the same amount of broccoli as zucchini mentioned in the previous recipe.
It looks disgusting, but actually tastes pretty good. The mixture ended up making about 25-30 smallish falafel balls. Form them by spoon or hand and bake them on a greased baking sheet. They get a nice little crispness that way.
I also made tzaziki sauce to go with it. The recipe I used is here (from Skinnytaste.com):
