Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup raw cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 cup raw broccoli "rice" see post description above
  • 1/4 cup [hemp hearts
  • 1/4 cup almond slivers
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup toasted almond flour see post above if you need to know how to toast it
  • 2 tablespoons green onions finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely ground pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic optional
  • Coconut oil for frying.

Instructions
 

  • If you are starting with cauliflower florets and/or broccoli florets. Pulse raw florets in a food processor to get "rice". Measure out 1/2 cup each of cauliflower rice and broccoli rice.
  • Add cauliflower rice and broccoli rice to a medium bowl.
  • Add almond slivers to food processor and pulse a few times to get them coursely ground.
  • Add hemp hearts, almonds, eggs, almond flour, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix well.
  • Form 7 patties that are about 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches in diameter.
  • Heat coconut oil in frying pan over medium heat. How much depends on the size of your frying pan. You want the coconut oil to cover about 1/3-1/2 the falafel when set in the pan.
  • (optional) Add minced garlic and let get fragrant. Remove garlic or just let it stay in there and burn. Either is fine. We just want to infuse the oil with some garlic.
  • Once the oil is hot, add falafels to the pan a few at a time.
  • Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes. This time GREATLY varies depending on the heat of the oil. Just pay attention to the first round and allow it to get golden or dark golden brown.
  • Serve on their own or with your favorite sauce (see post above for suggestions)
