After a failed lentil burger incident a few months ago because the ingredients didn’t bind well, I was extra cautious and threw in an “egg”(1 tbsp ground flax to 3 tbsp water). For double the recipe, I used about 3/4 of the “egg”. The falafel turned out just fine in the over, but GREAT in the pan with a little oil – not fried, just browned on low-med flame.

Fattoush is a really good (vegan!) accompaniment:

I made these for my annual Christmas Potluck, which was Mediterranean themed. They were delicious. I leave out the cilantro, but they are amazing. I use a masher instead of a processor as well. I found I have to broil them a bit near the end to get a good crispy outside, probably just my oven.
Thanks for the recipe, I make these all the time now!

Shelby – Glad you and your family love it! There’s plenty of good and tasty vegan food, no starvation here. :-) Maybe replace honey with agave nectar?

I just made this and it was sooo good. Everyone in my family loved it! You have convinced me that veganism does not equal starvation and I might have to reconsider becoming one (i fear that my addiction to honey might thwart my attempt). Thanks so much! I used whole wheat pitas which were about 110 calories for half and using the tahini sauce and hummus sparingly, this meal was pretty low calorie. Can you say BONUS?! Baked>fried.

Emma – That’s so cool! The recipe is pretty straight forward. The only thing I can think of, is if you haven’t made it before maybe try it first so you would know what’s all involved. Other than that, have fun! :-)

I am planning to make these with 30 youth on Monday as part of our food program. Do you have any extra tips to ensure success??

Thanks!

This was sooooo good! I have a food processor so I did go ahead and use it and they came out awesome. I made my sandwich with a little bit of hummus and baba ganoush (I included a picture on my flickr), romaine lettuce, tomato… and even some hot chili sauce.

Thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait to make these – i think a higher temp. is a good idea and a little broil at the end will crisp up – the idea of a wee bit more olive oil sound good to keep from becoming dry. tahini sauce is a must – tahini, lemon and water – shake in a jar and keep to drizzle on these and almost anything. thanks for the recipe…
