Falafel with Spiced Tabouleh | Real Time Recipes | French Guy Cooking


you
yes I did this is Alex I’m the French
guy cooking and today i am at unblock
his festival in the food tube van and
i’m gonna make a nice tablet with some
rolf elephants and a tahini dressing so
first off we start with the tablet for
that we need to bunch of parsley 1 bunch
of mint and for spring onions a few
tomatoes yep everything on the board 2
cucumbers and we need to chop everything
roughly so there we go with the cucumber
the idea behind it is that you want to
dice everything
Oh
so usually when they serve them
tabulating restaurant they go to light
on the herbs this time we go heavy on
the herbs you got two bunches of parsley
and one bunch of mint which is gonna be
crazy
flavorful up that’s it
now do tomatoes
just a few medium sized Tomatoes goes in
you can take red tomatoes you can take
yellow tomatoes it doesn’t matter really
it’s just to have some tang
some acidity
again you just chop them roughly
there you go
and the last one
it doesn’t have to be perfect
in fact this tablet never has to be
perfect it just has to be quick easy you
know that’s a easy meal you can make
when you are in a hurry you go
now the main ingredient the herbs as I
told you so I have I have like two
bunches of parsley and one bunch of mint
but if you have coriander or if you have
dill then you can just pop them in the
more the better
let’s chop this up just checking if
there is no rubber band in it but that’s
good you can keep the Stokes in it you
can put the stems in it you can put the
leaves in it it doesn’t matter it will
just leave this old salad some crunch at
the end
all you need to do if you put the stems
and it is to make sure that they are
really really finely chopped
all right everything goes in mm-hmm
this is gonna be like really really
flavorful it’s not windy
perfect
so now to the spring onions again fall
spring onions finely chopped
what you have to remember but you have
to remember guys that this recipe is
really cool is really quick but it’s
made in real time which means that it’s
really easy to wrap up like for example
on a weeknight or for a quick takeaway
lunch then it goes as well perfect
now some dressing for the table’ so
lemon
we are just gonna pump up the flavors in
it lemon there we go a bit of olive oil
just to let the flavors marry and mingle
also pepper
some sort
a pinch of seven spices which is a
typical Lebanese spices mix maybe two
pinches let’s be generous
okay so last the most important part of
this table should be the boo-boo which
is made normally with wheat in this
recipe we are make we’re making it so
the tablet will be gluten free so I’m
using quinoa instead I’ve got some
already cooked there and I’m gonna add
them to the mix
right let’s give it a nice mix and the
tablet will be ready
as you can see it’s all about the herbs
it’s very important that the ratio
between the quinoa the grain you use and
the herbs is definitely you know tilting
in favor in favor of the of the herbs
that’s it now we are going to let it sit
on the side just for the flavor to
infuse nicely you know for the herbs to
to mix with the quinoa or for the
tomatoes to to infuse in in old in all
those flavors right now let’s move on to
the row falafels let me put that aside
and these are the ingredients for the
falafels
so basically we are not doing so much
here the Blitzer is gonna do all the
work for us
falafels not when it needs to be cooked
or to be deep fry bird in this case I
want to keep it raw or it to be quick
and also you know it’s a healthier
version of the falafels we normally do
so we go like we start by half a cup of
raw cashew nuts here it goes then give
it a quick blitz
then we add the other ingredients
starting with the onions spring onion
and garlic you don’t have to chop them
to find me because the Britta is going
to take care of all that the reason why
I’m putting the onions like earlier
early in this mixing in this blitzing
process is because I want them to be
really fine I just don’t want the people
to stumble upon Abood chunk of onion and
same goes for the garlic I reckon the
small clove of garlic would be more than
enough
perfect then another blitz
fine nice it’s becoming too you know as
you can see it’s gathering together now
main ingredients the chickpeas these are
organic chickpeas they will make the
paste go a bit gooey bitter a bit more
easy to form the bowls afterwards a cap
of chickpeas
now just some just a light dressing of
lemon juice just to give some acidity
just to wake the things up a glug of
olive oil
perfect perfect final blitz and then
we’re gonna form the balls
that’s perfect that’s perfect the thing
is I like to add herbs to match my
falafels but I never put them in the
food processor because otherwise the
whole thing is turning green so I just
keep them on the side chop a few leaves
and add them with a spoon
you
right perfect let’s just remove the
blade as carefully as I can I want to
cut myself in real time that would be a
shame place those in
I’m using the food processor board as a
mixing board you’ll never know up spoon
and then we give it a nice mix bright
perfect
it should be a bit sticky if it’s too
sticky you can always add a bit more
cashew nuts in it sorry mate perfect
perfect absolutely perfect – from the
Fair Affairs normally as they are
deep-fried they have a nice crust around
it so to fake that or just to make it a
bit more pretty I guess we can we can
dredge those like in for example sesame
seeds so that’s easy you place sesame
seeds in a plate these are toasted
sesame seeds to take a bit of the
mixture with a spoon or with the ends
let’s go with the ends it’s easier this
way you form a nice Bowl it’s a bit
sticky but it that’s normal that’s
absolutely fine and then you reg it in
sesame seeds like this
let’s make two more second
you can also use like for example you
know almond powder or cashew powder or
you can even use herbs finely chopped
that would be really nice in fact we’re
going to use some herbs we’re going to
do one like this so let me just grab a
few herbs
shove them really finely this time
because this needs to coat the old
falafel
this is this is the main stage just next
to moon the jet just next to the food
tube type so that’s why it’s a bit noisy
I think it’s John quitter always noisy
this one anyway
alright so that’s another coating we can
make again a spoon like maybe your golf
sized piece of the real falafel mixture
and then you simply dredge it in herbs
and that is different and beautiful at
the same time let’s place it next to the
other one so we have three rofl FS right
let me just give it a quick wash
perfect let me just put that on the side
and we move on to the dressing so this
is the ingredients we need to make a
quick tahini dressing instead of buying
pre-made tahini we can use and make our
own tahini for that half a cup of sesame
seeds and it goes to C that easy I’m
using a Blitzer blender I was using a
Blitzer I do nothing in this recipe
perfect let’s give it a quick mix
because afterwards it’s gonna be a bit
troublesome to mix perfect
perfect oh good now we just add some
liquids in it to get it going
normally I would be adding like half a
cup of sesame seeds and 2/3 of a cup of
sheep’s milk that should be nice
a reason of sesame oil which is really
really powerful so easy a nice squeeze
of lemon I’m just trying to catch the
pips no peeps in this one you never know
nice
and a tiny tiny bit of honey because
sometimes the season you know can be a
bit bitter so it’s nice to counter that
with some sweetness good blitz and then
we are good
nice
oops I forgot just add a bit of salt in
it
and same Peppa
great
we are good all we need to do now is
plate everything up I’m just gonna plate
it there so we need a nice plate let me
just put that side wait a minute
plates a spoonful of a few spoons
spoonful of tablet
that is the main actor of this dish so
just be generous with it perfect on the
side the roof elephants
I’m on the side and finally a bit of our
TV inspired dressing
there we go
I just placed some on the side for the
people to use if they want
and I think that’s it so that is taboo a
made with Peter some rofl offense and a
tiny sauce guys I hope you liked this
