Method

Falafel

In a blender add beetroot, boiled or canned chickpeas, ginger, paprika, parsley, cumin, sesame seeds, mint and some olive oil and blend and Double Shot all together.

Put beetroot mixture aside, make sure the consistency is as smooth as is possible.

Incorporate the bread crumbs into the beetroot mixture and leave for around 10 minutes.  

Roll Falafel mixture into golf sized balls, flatten them slightly.

In a pan, heat some oil to fry the falafel.

Allow the beetroot falafel to cook, assuring each side is golden in colour. Place 2-3 in one pan at a time.

Remove from pan and rest on paper towel so excess oil can drain.

Serve with salad, or in a Pita – however desired.

 

Tabouleh

Soak bulghur in hot water for 10-15 minutes and drain.

Combine bulghur, olive oil, lemon, cumin, and salt and let stand for 20-30 minutes. 

Chop all other vegetables. 

Add remaining ingredients and mix. 

Serve sprinkled with more fresh mint. 

 

Tahini dressing

In a small bowl whisk, all ingredients together. 

If consistency is not runny enough add more water until it is drizzleable.
