Cauliflower Falafel Recipe Idea

 Cauliflower Falafel

Makes 1 serving 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (4.3 oz) egg substitute, egg beaters

1 cup (3.52 oz) raw cauliflower

1 tsp oil, olive

1/2 oz almonds

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 clove garlic, clove

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp coriander, ground

Directions:

Chop cauliflower into small-sized pieces and add them to a food processor. 

Pulse until blended with a slightly grainy texture.

Grind the almonds in a similar manner – just be careful to not over grind them as a slightly crunchy texture complements the dish nicely.

Combine the ground cauliflower and ground almonds in a bowl. 

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well blended.

Heat your oil until sizzling. While it is heating, form the mix into 8 three-inch patties. Aim for the thickness of a hockey puck.

Saute them four at a time until browned on one side and then flip and cook the other side. Resist the urge to flip too soon – you should see the edges turning brown before you attempt it – maybe 4 minutes or so per side.

Extra tip:

Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a little extra flavor and serve it over a bed of mixed greens. Three ounces of low-fat Greek yogurt is equal to 1/4 leaner (for a total of 1/2 lean) and 1 cup of mixed greens equals 1 green (for a total of 3 greens).
