Falafel (raw)

This isn't my recipe, but it came out so good I have to share it. You don't need a dehydrator, and they really do taste like falafel!










Raw Falafel Balls

Serves: 3-4 people (makes about 12-14 balls)

Equipment: Food processor or Blender

Ingredients:

2 cups of sunflower seeds
1 cup cilantro or parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
few pieces of white onion
2 tablespoons of tahini
squeeze of lemon
1 to 2 cloves or garlic, chopped
pinch of sea or crystal salt

Grind sunflower seeds in blender or food processor until you have a powder. In a large bowl, mix the powder and the rest of the ingredients. Combine until you have a dry dough. If it is too dry, you can add more lemon juice or some olive oil. When you have desired consistency, form into balls. Wrap in lettuce leaves, or serve over tabouli, cauliflower couscous, with peppers, chopped tomatoes, hummus, etc. Pictured is falafel, salad, zucchini hummus, and cauliflower couscous.
