Slightly non-standard falafel
I don't have the foresight to prepare garbanzo dust for when I'm going
to want the falafel, so I usually use commercial falafel mix. All of
the ones I've tried taste a little boring, so here's a kludge:
- falafel mix
- baba ghanouj (also commercial, for me -- I don't know what I
would do with an eggplant's worth.)
- minced onion
- water
Chop the onion -- precisely one onion. To the falafel mix, add baba
ghanouj for about one third of the specified water. Then add some three
quarters of the water, as needed, and onion to taste or to the verge of
incoherence. Prepare and serve as usual (except try some chopped green
olives and tomato too).
If you don't eat much fat, you can dry-fry the falafel in a non-stick
pan. Try modifying the tahini sauce,
too.
