Crispy Falafel with Zesty Tahini Sauce
Pan-seared chickpea and hemp seed falafels served over a cooling bed of protein-rich Greek yogurt and drizzled with a creamy, zesty tahini sauce.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup canned chickpeas
1.5 tbsp hemp seeds
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup fresh parsley
0.25 cup fresh cilantro
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp ground coriander
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy texture.
In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, hemp seeds, fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until a coarse meal forms.
Scoop the mixture and form into four small, thick patties using your hands, pressing firmly so they hold their shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the falafel patties for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crisp.
Spread the zesty yogurt-tahini sauce on a plate and top with the warm falafel patties, garnishing with extra herbs if desired.
