Recipe Author: Beautiful on Raw
Preparation Time: 30 min. plus time for soaking and dehydrating
Serves: makes about 17 walnut-size balls
Ingredients:
For falafel:
- ½ cup garbanzo beans, soaked overnight and sprouted for 12-24 hours
- ½ cup raw shelled sunflower seeds, soaked for a few hours and dehydrated
- 1/3 cup red onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1/3 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp Celtic sea salt
- pinch black pepper
For sauce:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled, pit removed and cubed
- 3 Tbs. ground sesame seeds
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
- pinch Celtic sea salt
Directions:
Combine all falafel ingredients in a food processor, and blend well. Roll the mix into balls in the hands and dehydrate on Paraflex sheets in a dehydrator at 105 F for about 4 hours, until the falafel balls form a light crust, but remain soft inside. After 2 hours turn them over directly onto the dehydrator tray to allow for the underside to form the crust as well. While falafel is being dehydrated, make a sauce by blending its ingredients in a food processor. Transfer to a small bowl. When the falafel is ready, place falafel and sauce on the plate with lettuce leaves, and add a salad or cut veggies if desired.
