Recipe Steps

steps 8

40 min

  • Step 1

    Taking a pair of kitchen scissors, trim the tips of the broccoli florets into a small pan - you should have one cup of broccoli 'rice'. Add a tablespoon of water and cook gently for a minute or two until the broccoli grains are just tender and the water has evaporated.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Allow the broccoli to cool a little then transfer to a mixing bowl along with the ground almonds, cumin, coriander, tahini, lemon zest and salt.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit and grease a shallow oven tray with a little oil.
  • Step 4

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a low/medium heat. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add to the skillet and sweat gently until tender. Set aside to cool.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Add the onion and garlic to the mixing bowl. Stir everything together well to combine.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Divide the mixture into 10 even portions and roll into balls. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up a little.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    Arrange the falafel across the greased oven tray and transfer to the oven to bake for 15 -18 minutes until golden brown all over and hot through.

          I like your train of thought to try freezing cooked and uncooked. Please give an update on your outcome.

          I don't see why you couldn't freeze them? Or cook them and freeze them?

            Great substitute for traditional falafel. Better than local shop, but not as good as my traditional homemade.
