Amazing tasting and ridiculously easy fat -free fresh vegetable goodness laden falafel .

I made up this recipe from readily  available ingredients  here in America - I'm not sure whether commercial sofrito is available in Israel but its easy enough to make in a  food processor -  garlic, onions, peppers ,cilantro  and salt are the basic ingredients and then U blend in a food processor and use  spoonfuls in Ur cooking all week . If U make it at home it doesnt need to contain salt either ... and can also be used as a base for fresh salsa and all kinds of green Spanish type and Indian type sauces .

One cup chickpea flour  mixed with 2/3 cup cold water and 1/3 cup commercial sofrito .  Let sit for close to one hour for grainy chickpea flour to soften .

make balls and bake on a pammed pan in an oven or (even  easier) make teaspoon patties and "pan fry "em with a bit of Pam like latkes . I usually don't  eat my falafel with pita bread  but I do enjoy a greek type  cucumber/yogurt  garlicky dipping sauce called  Tzaziki sometimes on mine .  Sauces aren't really necessary with THIS falafel because unlike most... its  neither too dense nor too flavorless ... its soft , green  and delicious .

The fresh vegetable addition  cuts the calories down close to one-half .  Incidentally theres a very popular organic n kosher Dutch ! restaurant chain thats making a killing using  something very like my recipe  for their falafel mix... only they deep fry theirs  , give U an unlimited salad bar on top  and a pita wrap  and charge U seven bux for three falafel balls .

Even THATS  a great healthy meal if U can get it though .. but try making this at home .  U'll be amazed .  .

Low carbing it  DOES get people into trouble  blood sugar wise I'm convinced .  The RIGHT carbs give U great all-day energy ... KEEP  U from wanting  unhealthy " snax"   and wanting to graze in general .  A  meal of high fiber fat -free falafel cleans out my insides BEAUTIFULLY  while energizing me all day  ....

Incidentally  Kids of All ages seem to  love falafel .  Its a VERY  cost effective healthy and filling family meal ... 

Can't I just pay you to make them for me? LOL

lol  they take  like thirty seconds to mix up ....  but come to think of it  even easier to make  from-scratch ready prepared   foods are being sold at Costco every single day  .... 

What measurements do you use of each ingredient?

When my power comes back on I will try it. Been out since Monday.  :/
