Place the fava beans in a bowl with water and baking soda and soak for four hours.

Once soaked, set aside the fava beans.

In a food processor, combine the brown onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, corn starch, baking soda, cumin, and salt.

Process until the ingredients are finely chopped.

Add the drained fava beans to the processed mixture and pulse until a coarse paste is formed, being careful not to form a puree.

Scoop a few tablespoons of the mixture with your hands and form little patties of any shape you wish.

Put the patties on a sheet to bake.

Serve the falafel with tomatoes, cucumbers, tahini, and whatever veggies you desire.
