Falafel

Tahini Broccoli

Sumac & Tomato Ragout

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Falafel Mixture

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Form the Falafel

    Once chilled, form the mixture into small balls or patties. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the falafel for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Tahini Broccoli Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tahini Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and salt. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

  2. 4

    Cook the Broccoli

    Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until bright green and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Toss with tahini sauce before serving.

Sumac & Tomato Ragout Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Onion and Garlic

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Stir in diced tomatoes and sumac. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a sauce.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, serve the falafel topped with the sumac & tomato ragout, a side of tahini broccoli, and a dollop of ricotta mixed with fresh basil.
