Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cakes tofu -- pressed and mashed

1 cup finely chopped onions

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil

3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

black pepper to taste

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon turmeric

4 tablespoons tahini

4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon cayenne -- (1/4 to 1/2)

 

Yields approximately 36 small balls

Falafel are the hot dogs of the Middle East. Stuffed into pita bread, Soyfalafel

is street food, something to eat on the go. When made the traditional way with

cooked garbanzo beans, preparation is a long process. Our version, using tofu,

is much faster, equally delectable, and lighter and higher in protein.

 

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Form into 1-inch balls and

bake at 350F on an oiled baking sheet for about 30 minutes. The balls should be

golden and a little crusty on the outside, but still moist inside.

 

Serve with Tahini-Garlic Dressing (p. 59). Soyfalafels make excellent appetizers

and are also delicious stuffed into toasted pita bread with shredded lettuce,

chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and dressing.
