Felafals

by Mollie Katzen
Serves: 4
 
These high-protein Middle Eastern croquettes are actually a very quick meal: You just whip up a sturdy batter in a food processor and saute a small bit in olive oil until crisp. Serve felafal in the traditional way - stuffed into a pita pocket with vegetables and a touch of tahini. This makes a very satisfying lunch or dinner entree, especially when accompanied by a bowl of your favorite soup.

Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can chickpeas
1 scoop GeniSoy® Natural Protein Powder
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 scallions, coarsely chopped (whites and greens)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. salt
2 T. fresh lemon juice
Olive oil for the pan
Toppings
Diced tomatoes
Diced cucumbers
Tahini
 
Instructions:
  1. Drain the chickpeas and transfer them to the workbowl of a food processor. Add the soy protein powder, garlic, scallions, spices and lemon juice; process until uniformly blended.
  2. Use wet hands or two soup spoons to form the batter into small flat ovals, one heaping tablespoons at a time. Place the ovals on a late.
  3. Heat a medium sized skillet and add about 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle a bread crumb on contact, add the felafal, and fry on both sides until golden brown. (about 5 minutes on each side.)
  4. Serve warm, in toasted pita pockets, with diced tomatoes and cucumbers, and with a drizzle of tahini over the top.
