Falafel!! (V)

lostkat · 30-03-2008, 01:20

Pronounced "fal-off-ul"

OMG this is GORGEOUS! I made it for my mate last Monday because I invited a few friends around for tea. I was cooking lasagne, but she's a veggie so I wanted to cook her something nice. I tried a bit of it and it's just soooo nice that I made it tonight and thought I'd share the recipe. It's mostly store cupboard ingredients too, so it's something you can make in one of those "argh, haven't done the shopping" moments

Yum++++++

Recipe:

Finished article, served with potato wedges, salad and some salsa

chickpeas and garlic.

I see something very houmous-esque appearing... should be good

excellent!
we usually make these into tiny (1cm) balls, so they fry off nice and crispy and fit well into an open pitta, big falafel burgers sound yummy though - and i'll definitely be trying your recipe out kate!

And you two above. Get over it.

Some veggie food is gorgeous. You don't need to have meat to make a cracking meal. I can see what you're saying about going out of your way to make something veggie but this isn't making it because it's veggie, it's making it because it's absolutely delicious. It's also incredibly filling, so you wouldn't want steak to go with it... trust me!

I'm willing to bet that if I hadn't put (V) in the title, you wouldn't be having that conversation.

And no, I'm not a veggie either!

What do they taste like? If they taste like houmous at all, i'm interested, because I love it.

No farfalle in here moddum... and I can assure you that this tastes MUCH better

I love falafel wrapped in a flat bread with houmous and salad.
