Raw: Day 41

Falafel

Here's another great one! Very quick and tasty and I already had all the ingredients on hand.

I loved the flavor of this one. The cumin with the sun-dried tomatoes and lemon juice...mmm...good.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4

• ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 cup almonds
• ¼ cup celery
• 2 tablespoons lemon
• 4 tablespoons Tahini (I used a jar of Krinos)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 4 cabbage leaves
• 1 cup Zucchini Hummus (I made this just before the falafel and it was very easy to make.)

1. Soak the sun-dried tomatoes for 2 hours. Chop them into small pieces.
2. Prepare the falafel balls by processing all ingredients, except for the cabbage leaves and hummus, in a food processor until well mixed and slightly chunky. Pat them into little balls. They are ready to serve immediately.
3. Lay the cabbage leaves on a plate. Spread the hummus onto each leaf and place falafel patties on top. Roll up into a sandwich wrap.
