Falafel with Tahini sauce


These are fun to make...and eat! Not too much to know except that you should soak your beans the night before you cook them off ( like all beans), so this would fall into the category of "planned meal". You can add any fresh veggies you want, but you must add PICKLES! :)

To make these yummy morsels you put about 3 cups of cooked chickpeas in a food processor, and mix until chopped up well, not completely mush. Then add...

1 lemon juiced
a half a onion minced
1 clove garlic minced
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of paprika
2 tablespoons flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup parsley chopped


Mix this in a bowl together so that it looks like this....

Form into patties ( makes about 12)
Heat up about 1/2 inch of sunflower oil in a pan ( I like to use a cast iron) and fry both sides until golden. Remove from pan and place on a cookie sheet and bake in an oven on 350 for 20 minutes. Wrap up in a pita with your favorite veggies.

Tahini Sauce

4 tbsp tahini
1/4 cup water
1/2 lemon- juiced
1 tsp sea salt
4 tbsp sunflower oil

In a blend put the first 4 ingredients and blend, slowly add the sunflower oil until thickens.
