A new receipe brings more joy to mankind than the discovery of a new star.

Green Falaffels




We bought a big bag of peashoots. They are delicious, beautiful and healthy. Additionally they are cheap bought in a larger quantity. After eating them in salads for many days the glory was gone and they seemed to last forever. I had a new task - how to make a receipe out of them. Here it is! I have made the same balls out of cauliflowers before.  The peashoot (or is it peasprouts?) gave an excellent flavour to the dish.  As spices you can use anything you please. The spices in the receipe are just a suggestion.



Green Falaffels for 2-3 persons:
Now you add the rest of the ingredients
1,5 l Peashoot
2 dl pumpkin seeds
1 tbl flax seeds
1 tbl olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp coriander
0,5 tsp tumeric
0,5 tsp jeera
1 tl ginger
Ground sesame seeds
Roll them in ground sesame seeds




Cut the sprouts with a knife to fit them better into the food processor.  Pulsate until it looks like in the picture. Ground the pumpkin and the flax seeds in a blender until they are a fine powder. Add them, the spices and the oil to the sprouts.Keep pulsating until it is a sticky mass (not a mess!)  Be careful not to make it too fine, there should be some structure left.  Form balls and roll them in ground sesame seeds. Serve with salsa and tahini


Salsa:
4 tomatoes
1 tsp salt
Fresh basil
Blackpepper
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Cut the tomatoes fine with a knife and put them in a sieve to drain. Drink the drained water as aperitive and chop the basil .  Blend everything together.
Tahini:
1 dl sesame seeds
1 tsp salt
The juice from 1/2 lemon
2 tbl olive oil
water
Put everything in a blender with 2 dl of water.  Blend with maximum speed until smooth.  Add water until its a smooth sauce, not a stew. Check the taste and do any corrections you need.
Bon appetit!
