Falafel

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

Ingredients:

    2 1/2 cups of soaked garbanzo beans
    1 cup of chopped onion
    3/4 cup of parsley leaves (still whole)
    1 tablespoon coriander seeds
    1 tablespoon cumin seeds
    3 teaspoons sea salt
    2 tablespoons egg substitute
    2 tablespoons whole meal flour

Directions:

Put the garbanzos in a blender & mince till you have a fine crumbly texture.

Take out the beans and put in the onion and parsley.  Blend till finely minced (but not puree).

Slightly roast the coriander and cumin seeds over a low heat in frying pan (just till they start to smell and brown ever so slightly), then grind them.

Prepare the egg replacer.

In a big bowl, place the garbanzos and mix in the spices, the onion with the parsley, and then the egg replacer and flour.  Let sit for a while to let flavours blend.

Make small patties and fry in medium-hot canola oil till brown on both sides (turning over a couple of times).

Place on paper towels to let them drain.

Put them in oven so that they may finish cooking on the inside (just in case).
