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!

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.

Now there's a good reason to buy a food processor, looks super sweet.

Might have to serve it with a steak or something though, still can't bring myself to eat a solely vegetarian meal

Y'see if I go to cook a meal and it turns out to be veggie then I'm fine with that - but I think cooking this I know I would be going out of my way to make a veggie meal and that just doesn't sit right with me

Much the same, but looking at that it does look very tasty and I think I could bring myself to do it this once.

If it doesn't work, I'll consider blending some cooked steak in with the chick peas. Ah yeah.
