Happy TOOSDAY Steemians! Hope you have started off your week with a bang? I'm back from my mini holiday (I went to visit my brother-in-law, @thedarksideshow in Howick, Kwa-Zulu Natal.)
I've always loved falafels very much, but have never made them for myself. Last night I had the craving, and looked up the recipe. Not too difficult, I thought. So - I bought the ingredients and tried it out. They were very tasty, crunchy and sooo filling. I served my falafel with a roti (I know it should be a pita, but they are so bready!), greek yoghurt, heaps of hummus and some baby tomatoes.
FUN FACT
Falafel became so popular that McDonald's for a time served a "McFalafel" in its breakfast menu all over Egypt
I must say, it was super, SUPER easy to make, and I would definitely do it again.
Here's what I did:
INGREDIENTS:
- Two Cans of Chickpeas
- Half a cup of Coriander
- Two t ground coriander
- 3 cloves Garlic
- One Third Cup of Lemon Juice
- One t Bicarbonate of Soda
- salt
- 1 T Olive oil
METHOD
In a blender, add the chickpeas, garlic, coriander, salt and pepper. Pulse until ground to a fine consistency.
Add the olive oil, lemon juice and bicarb. Pulse again.
Once done, create your chickpea patties and place in the freezer for at least half an hour before baking . I find that a tablespoon is enough for one falafel.
Preheat your oven to 200'C and bake the falafel for fifteen minutes. After that time has passed, flip and cook for a further ten mins.
It was quite yum, I must say. I had the leftovers in a salad for lunch at work today, and they were just as great cold.
Let me know if you make these little gems.

If canned chickpeas not available.have I to boil chickpeas or not?
Yes! Itβs actually better with cooked chickpeas than canned.

thanks for sharing
Awesome. Let me know how it goes!
I will do
I'm doing a 13 week diet on d.tube. I'm on day 2 and it's not good for me to be seeing this carb filled goodness. LOL God give me strength.
Oh tell me more? Are chickpeas carbs?
I also gave you a shout out and the end of my day 3 video. You've been so nice to me and everyone on here so it's just a small token of my appreciation.
haha! Ah that is so lovely! Thank you so much. Heading over to watch your vids now π
haha! Ah that is so lovely! Thank you so much. I had a look at day three, but didn't hear or see anything - perhaps I am watching the wrong vid. Don't you want to link me?
your kids are sooo cute!
Thank you so much. They get the cuteness from their mother: Yes it's video 3 at 9:30. I'm sooo sorry I do want to link you. I've added the links to the post and I'm going to do that on all my post from now on. I can't assume everyone sees that part of the vlog and I should have been linking it on my post.
I would say it's a good carb. :) Great for meals 2 and 3 of 6 daily meals. I really want to be a part of dtube daily. This is my second upload in a row! https://steemit.com/dtube/@gabbyg86/0ttl501i
