Falafel

This vibrant raw vegan falafel offers a fresh, nutrient-dense twist on the classic Middle Eastern staple. By using sprouted chickpeas rather than traditional fried legumes, this dish retains a wealth of enzymes and a light, floral flavour that pairs beautifully with the zingy lemon and aromatic cumin. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a protein-rich, plant-based meal that feels both indulgent and incredibly wholesome.

Ideal as a healthy snack or the centrepiece of a colourful salad bowl, these dehydrated falafel discs possess a wonderful texture that holds up well for meal prep. Serve them tucked inside a warm wholemeal pitta with plenty of crunchy salad, or enjoy them alongside a generous dollop of homemade hummus and pickled red cabbage for a complete, savoury feast.

Ingredients for Falafel

  • 1450ml sprouted garbanzo beans

  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

  • 1 cup raw tahini

  • 240ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 onion, minced

  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin

  • 90ml Bragg Liquid Aminos, or 2 tablespoons sun-dried sea salt

  • 140g sesame seeds

How to make Falafel

Using a homogenizing juicer with the blank plate in place, homogenize the garbanzo beans and parsley and place in a large bowl. Place the tahini, lemon juice, onion, cumin, and Braggs in a blender and blend. Stir the tahini mixture into the garbanzo paste. In a spice grinder, grind the sesame seeds into a fine powder. Mix into the garbanzo paste. Press into 1/4-inch-thick crusts, each 4 or 8 inches in diameter. Dehydrate for 12 to 14 hours, flipping at least once during the drying time.
