Falafel was developed by those who traveled the ancient spice routes in the Middle East centuries ago. They combined garbanzo beans, yellow peas and a rich blend of spices to give a delicious uniquely flavored finger food. As a result of its ease of preparation, storage and nourishing qualities, Falafel became a Middle Eastern culinary tradition.

With increased interests in ethnic foods and alternative protein selections, our Falafel mix is bound to become a hit while satisfying this growing demand.

INGRIDIENTS

Garbanzo Beans, Yellow Peas, Bulgar Wheat, Wheat Germ, Spices, Baking Soda, Salt, Parsley, Onion and Garlic.

DIRECTIONS

Combine 2 cups Falafel Mix and 1-1/4 cups water in a bowl. Stir until mix is thoroughly moistened. Let the mixture stand for at least 15 minutes. Make small round balls (about the size of a cherry) using damp hands or a melon ball scoop.

Cook Falafel balls in a deep fat fryer or a frying pan in at least one inch of vegetable oil at approximately 350°F. For best results, Falafel balls should be fried quickly until golden brown (3-5 minutes).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Fill a pita pocket with our Falafel, salad greens and salad dressing. Offer Falafel balls as an hors d'oeuvre with a variety of sauces such as a Traditional Sesame Tahini Sauce and Roquefort Sauce. Falafel shaped into a patty, cooked and served on a bun with your favorite condiments is superb.
