How about some Falafel for your Friday lovely people?
My favorite food to make and eat over and over again are falafel with lots of other veggies and salads like here, I have some poached beetroot salad, corn, greens, cucumber, tomato and a little tahini dipping sauce.
Now I have fried my falafel before and I’ve used grape seed oil, always do your research and use a plant based oil that is good for shallow frying. But these days I prefer to bake them instead which is what I did with these ones. Just ensure you drizzle plenty of olive oil before baking on both sides so they are not to dry when cooked.
Here’s my recipe if you want to try them:
Falafel Recipe:
1 1/2 cups raw chickpeas organic soaked for 6 hours
2 onions grated
1/4 cup soaked buckwheat
1 cup filtered water
1 cup fresh herbs – mixture of dill, cilantro/coriander, and parsley
1 tablespoon celtic salt
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground tumeric.
Just mix all ingredients through in your food processor so that the chickpeas are crushed and all ingredients are mixed evenly, make little patties and give a good drizzle of olive oil, on some baking paper. Bake in the oven on 180 degrees for about 30 mins or so turning over to ensure they are cooked. Enjoy with some tahini dressing…this made a total of 18 pieces!!!
