HRAAB Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 What else do you do with falafel besides stuffing pita bread with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Eat it plain? Dip in hummus? Traditionally it's a street food, but one could do whatever her little heart desires with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hm, I've never stuffed it in pita bread. We usually just eat it plain. YUM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 We eat it over a lettuce, cucumber, tomato salad with rice and red wine vinegar sprinkled on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) I have used them with pasta. I love them with rice and/or lentils. Edited November 10, 2009 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_Edgerton Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Roasted veg..maybe red pepper, red onion, summer squash or zucchini. I also like the creamy cucumber sauce that I can't think of the name of. Combined this would be an excellent meal. I am hungry now!:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahf. Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Here is the recipe I use....I don't deep fry them just place a bit of EVOO in a pan and fry them up...you could also bake them on a greased cookie sheet. So easy and delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yum! Where did you get your recipe? I have never tried to make it from scratch. Here is the one I use. I use gluten free bread crumbs and I also use garbanzo bean flour instead of canned beans. I obviously have to add more water to get it right. Falafel INGREDIENTS: 1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained 2 T. dried onion 1 pinch garlic powder, 1 T dried cilantro 1 teaspoon dried parsley 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns 1 inch vegetable oil for frying salad: romaine, grapes, cucumber, tomato DIRECTIONS: 1. Mash the garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Stir in the onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley cumin, turmeric, baking powder, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Do not be afraid to use your hands. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls; you should get 18 to 24. If the mixture does not hold together, add a little water. 2. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, and fry until brown. If you do not have a deep fryer, heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to adjust the heat slightly after the first couple of falafels, and be sure to turn frequently so they brown evenly. Serve over salad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdeveson Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Ack! All this talk of falafels gave me the munchies. Now I'm going to have to find a can of canned garbanzos and make some for tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
