Falafel Balls Recipe

This is another great recipe that I got from goneraw.com. It is posted by earthintruder.

This is an image of the balls after they were created. There is a little olive juice on the plate, looks rather gross but that is all it was...

This is a view of the falafel balls on a collard leave - eaten like a taco! Yum!!!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sunflower seeds, unsoaked
  • 1 cup corriander, chopped (we used only about 2 tbsp)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • couple pieces onion
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • squeeze of lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • cucumbers, sliced
  • carrots, sliced
  • olives, sliced
  • mung bean sprouts
  • collard leaves

Preparation

In a blender, Grind sunflower seeds into fine powder first. Soaking these seeds would be best, but you don’t have to. Then just add all other ingredients. Sometimes I add bellpepper, carrots; just whatever I have on hand.

I like to put these in a large collard leaf and stuff it with raw olives, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, shredded carrots, and beets. Then top it off with tahini dressing mixed with dill and lemon. Its SOO delicious! yummy!
