In honor of the Jewish New Year we are making an Israeli classic, falafel.
Falafels:
Serving Size: 6 people
I box any type of falafel mix you would like
1 1/2 cups sunflower oil
For the falafels we did cheat a little bit. We had never made falafels before so we started with a basic mix and followed the directions on the back of the box. The mix only required water and time to sit and turn into a dough consistency.
1. Heat the oil in a medium sized pot on medium high heat for about ten minutes
2. Once the oil is hot using a spoon scoop out a ball of dough and slowly drop it into the oil, making sure not to let the oil splash and burn your skin.
3. Let the falafels sit in the oil for about 1 ½ minutes until they are brown on all sides
4. Once browned, scoop the ball out and let it sit and cool on a separate tray
5. Repeat until all the dough has been fried
Israeli Salad:
1 cucumber peeled
10 cherry tomatoes
Sunflower oil
Salt & Pepper
1. Chop up the cucumber into I inch cubes and half the tomatoes. Put both into a large bowl
2. Drizzle with the sunflower oil and season to taste with fresh cracked pepper and salt
Extras:
Mixed lettuce
Tzatziki sauce
5 whole wheat Pitas halved
When you are ready to eat you can combine all the ingredients in the pita.
