First off was Falafel and totally inspired by happy vegan face.
The cool thing about Rose Elliot's The Supreme Vegetarian Cook Book is that the Falafel recipe gives a Vegan option too.
YAY!
I'm guessing it's totally unethical of me to type the recipe in this here blog but lucky for us, but not so lucky for Rose, Jim Carson has totally put her recipe on his blog.
Thanks Jim!
Instead of using chicken periods to bind all the otherwise scrummy ingredients just use 2 tablespoons of Chickpea Flour as a binding ingredient and as a coating for the Breadcrumbs you just make a batter mixture using Chickpea Flour again, mixed with a little water.
Simple.
These were served with Guacamole from Rose Elliot, warm Wholemeal Pittas from the Supermarket, Cauiliflower Salad from the Oxfam Vegetarian Cookbook (thanks 'lil pea), Simple Salad with the Spicey Mustard Dressing from Veganomicon and a Tomato Salsa that I just threw together using a tin of Plum Tomatoes, Green Pepper, Onions, Green Chilli, Garlic and Olive Oil.
Total yumness.
The Cauliflower Salad is really easy and really good - though a lot of people don't like the thought of raw Cauliflower I urge you to give it a try.
The secret is to chop ALL the ingredients up really really fine.
Yeah - I know you all look fine when you chop things up anyway!
LOL!
Today's song is The Wombles of Wimbledon thanks to Becks from I am not a rabbit! Need I say more!
Oooh yeah - check out her Apple Pie Crumble creation - the rabbit is a genius!!
