Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 These are not technically " meat balls " , but this recipe may be helpful/adaptable. LaDonna Falafel Source: Fun with Natural Foods 1 cup dried garbanzo beans (not canned) --- equals 2 cups soaked 3 green onions or 1 small onion 1/2 cup parsley, pack into cup 3 cloved garlic Salt to taste Sesame seeds Soak beans overnight. Drain and combine with onions, parsley, garlic. Put through fine blade of meat grinder (or blender or food processor). Mix well. Season to taste. Let stand at least 15 minutes. Mixture will be quite soft. Heat oil in fry pan. Make into patties and roll in sesame seeds. Brown on both sides. Fry slowly. OR shape into balls 1 1/2 inch in diameter and bake on oiled pan at 350° for 30 minutes. Use as a filling for arabic bread, adding tomatoes, fresh parsley, onion, lettuce, olives, cucumbers, or anything else you desire. May be wrapped in foil and heated. Great on rice cakes too!
