I never knew what falafel was until I searched the Internet for chick pea recipes. Yeah, I'm pretty hopeless, you know. It did cross my mind to make hummus but I thought falafel sounded much more interesting.
And to be honest, ever since I bought that one can of chick peas, I've been wondering what to do with it!
Mash it up.
Mix the onions and spices in.
Instead of balls, I thought I'd make patties instead.
Most recipes call for tahini sauce to go with falafel. Again I had to find out what on earth was 'tahini sauce'.
Sesame paste and olive oil.
But first, I had to make the sesame paste.
Sesame paste and olive oil.
But first, I had to make the sesame paste.
From paste to sauce.
Add in the olive oil.
The recipe called for parsley flakes but I had none. So I substituted it with mixed spices. =P
Baked falafels!
Looks authentic enough, don't you think? ;)
Well, I didn't have pita bread so I made very thin omelette wraps instead.
I can't wait to make some more!
But this time, I have dry chickpeas instead, which will require soaking. =S
