Servings:
8-10 ballsThis recipe is so fast and easy! throw these balls on a salad or in a collard as a wrap!
Ingredients:
2 cup sunflower seeds, unsoaked
1 cup corriander, chopped
½ teaspoon ground
cumin
couple pieces onion
2 tablespoon tahini
squeeze of lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 pinch sea salt
Preparation:
In a blender, Grind sunflower seeds into fine powder first. Soaking these seeds would be best, but you don’t have to. Then just add all other ingredients. Sometimes I add bellpepper, carrots; just whatever I have on hand.
I like to put these in a large collard leaf and stuff it with raw olives, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, shredded carrots, and beets. Then top it off with tahini dressing mixed with dill and lemon. Its SOO delicious! yummy!

This is totally my lunch tomorrow, I have actually been craving falafel so your timing couldn't be better!

this is great! I had them today for dinner with a side dish of raw zucchini and sun dried tomatoes!! Amaizing. I cannot eat raw garlic and onions because they are tooooo strong for my instestine. It irritates it. So, I use celery stalks. Yummy. thanks for sharing it with us.

SOME TIPS:
I used raw organic Pumpkin Seeds instead of Sunflower Seeds and it gave it a nice color like real falafel, and I used fresh Dill which gave it an authentic taste! YUMM, 5 stars! Great ideaa!! :)

i was totally inspired by the idea of rolling nut "batters" into balls as a meal. what a fabulous non-dehydrator recipe. i made this last night with cauliflower "couscous." i rolled the balls in a little dusting of chili pepper and cumin for extra punch =)

Hi EI! I love this idea! You're picture is amazing! I was just looking at a hand crank blender tonight (at cabellas) that doesn't use electricity. This is something that could be done in that!
