Another yummy dinner



This has been a yummy week to live at my house :) Last night, we ate Indian food and tonight I made Falafel. 

Here's a picture of our yummy dinner...

Falafel is quite easy to make..here's the recipe:

  • 1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh 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
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
  • 1 egg
  • For Frying:
  • 1 cup of vegetable oil. 

Mix all the ingredients together. Make it to 2-inch balls then flatten them down to be about 1/2 inch.  Lightly fry then move to a baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Serve with tzatiki sauce, lettuce, tomato, tahini or just eat as is!
