Just made my Falafel recipe a few days ago. :)
Sorry, picture is a little blurry.
OK, here it is:
Kick your socks off Falafel
1 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked in water to cover overnight and drained
1 cup dried shelled fava beans, soaked overnight and drained
1/2 cup peeled and finely chopped yellow onions
3-4 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 cup water
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup garbanzo flour
1/4 cup fine bulgar
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/4 Tbs. salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Oil for deep-frying
Run the drained garbanzo beans and fava beans through the fine blade on your meat grinder or in your food processor. Blend in all the remaining ingredients and let the mixture stand for 1 hour. Add one well scrambled egg if desired to bind the ingredients and thus making balls easier to form. Form into little patties 1/3 inch thick and 1-1/2 inches round. Or, you can form them into balls the size of walnuts. Deep-fry in 375° oil until toasty brown and crunchy on the outside, about 4 minutes.
Fill pita bread with Falafel, sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, lettuce and yogurt.
Makes about 24 patties, enough for 6 sandwiches.
There is more to this recipe, but I don’t give away all my secrets. Fungi have a hidden nature that is impregnable.:)
Them’s a lot of ingredients, Fungi ;-)
But it looks wonderful. I think I’d make a Tzatziki, instead of just plain yogurt.
(So...you stick mushrooms in there somehow???)
