This version of falafel uses tofu rather than garbanzos, making it faster, lighter, and higher in protein. Source is New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant . Ingredients:
3 (12 ounce) cake tofu, pressed and mashed |
1 cup onion, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 cup breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil |
3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce |
black pepper |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon turmeric |
4 tablespoons tahini |
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne |
Directions:
1. Pressing the tofu will make it firmer and more absorbent. To press, put the tofu between 3 flat plates. Weight the plate with whatever is handy. The sides of the tofu should bulge, but not crack. Let sit for about 30 minutes and then pour off the water.
2. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients.
3. Form into 1-inch balls and bake at 350 F on a greased baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
4. The balls should be golden and a little crusty on the outside, but moist on the inside.
