FALAFEL WITH TAHINI SAUCE
Makes Yield: (8) 3" patties
Ingredients:
Falafel Ingredients
1 cup raw cauliflower, pureed
1/2 cup ground slivered almonds
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/2 Tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 large eggs
3 Tbsp coconut flour
Tahini sauce:
2 Tbsp tahini paste
3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt, more to taste if desired
Directions:
For the cauliflower you should end up with a cup of the puree. It takes about 1 medium head (florets only) to get that much. First chop it up with a knife, then add it to a food processor or magic bullet and pulse until it’s blended but still has a grainy texture.
You can grind the almonds in a similar manner – just don’t over grind them, you want the texture.
Combine the ground cauliflower and ground almonds in a medium bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well blended.
Heat a half and half mix of olive and grapeseed (or any other light oil) oil until sizzling. While it’s heating, form the mix into 8 three-inch patties that are about the thickness of a hockey puck.
Fry them four at a time until browned on one side and then flip and cook the other side. Resist the urge to flip too soon – you should see the edges turning brown before you attempt it – maybe 4 minutes or so per side. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve with tahini sauce and a tomato & parsley garnish if desired.
Tahini sauce: Blend all ingredients in a bowl. Thin with more water if you like a lighter consistency.
