the best answer will go for the best answer for me :p Very nice Eman, now I would like some for so7oor. And yes, I noticed what Asala is saying ... and I also noticed who has been getting all the best answers from you lately! looooooooool Now I wonder who will get best answer for this question? hehehe 1 medium, baked, peeled and mashed russet potato
3 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained and mashed
2 tablespoons regular or toasted tahini
1 tablespoon plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs
2/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Dash cayenne pepper
Pinch salt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
6 whole wheat pita breads, cut in half
Baked Potato: Wash, dry and oil potato skin. Preheat oven to 425;
bake 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. When potato is 1/2
done, puncture skin once with fork to allow steam to escape and
return to oven (or microwave it).
Soft Bread Crumbs: To retain the light texture; take 2 to 4 day
old bread and pull it apart with a fork using a gingerly motion.Do
not crush bread with the hand that is holding it. To measure it,
pile lightly into a cup; do not pack them down. OR Preheat oven to
250 then turn it off; put several slices bread in oven and heat
several minutes; turn over; heat several minutes; use food processor
to make crumbs.
Combine all ingredients (except Pita) in a large mixing bowl. Mix
until thoroughly blended, using your hands. Shape the mixture into
6 patties and place on grill screen over a medium temperature grill.
Cook about 15 minutes, turning once about halfway through, until
they've browned evenly. Do not over-cook.
Serve in a warm pita and topped with the tahini spread and tomato
relish.
Tahini Spread
1/4 cup regular or toasted tahini
1 tablespoon hot water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 clove minced garlic
salt
Combine the tahini, hot water and lemon juice to make a smooth
paste. Whisk in the yogurt, garlic and salt. It will keep refrigerated
for up to 4 days.
Tomato Relish
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 large tomato, ripe, peeled, seeded, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 white onion, small, chopped
Pinch cayenne pepper
salt
Preheat oven to 250. Taost the cumin on a sheet of foil until it
turns a deep brown, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure
it doesn't blacken and burn.
Toss the tomatoes with the onion, cilantro, cayenne and toasted
cumin. Season with salt. FALAFEL: there are NO potatoes in falafel
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons flour
Salt
Pepper
Oil for frying
PREPARATION:
Place dried chickpeas in a bowl, covering with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Omit this step if using canned beans.
Drain chickpeas, and place in pan with fresh water, and bring to a boil.
Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then let simmer on low for about an hour. Drain and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper (to taste) in medium bowl. Add flour.
Mash chickpeas, ensuring to mix ingredients together. You can also combine ingredients in a food processor. You want the result to be a thick paste.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball. Slightly flatten.
Fry in 2 inches of oil at 350 degrees until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Serve hot. Very delicious and live demonstration and almost you can smell the falafel in your imagination. (7aga tifta7 el nifs).
I think your video clip had teached many of us how to make falafel.
After what I have seen, I will have a falafel sandwich for my breakfast (Iftar) today, it will be nice with salatet tamatem o te7eeniah, me7'llel, with a hint of shatta.
