Sprouted Chick Pea Falafel

We have been sprouting seeds and nuts for many months now. Usually I use them raw in salads and sandwiches. I never really know what to do with sprouted chick peas. It is possible to make hummus from them, but I wanted something different. I found a 'raw food' recipe and adapted it to make this falafels. I don't have a dehydrator yet so I had to lightly cook them. It was so simple to make and very very tasty.

Take a cup of almonds and blend them to a fine powder.

Then take a cup of sunflower seeds and blend them to a fine powder. Put both the powders into a mixing bowl.

Take a cup of sprouted chick peas and blend them in a blender. Then add to the same bowl as the almonds and sunflower seeds. Mix them all up and add...

the juice of half a lemon

1/2 tsp of garlic powder (or fresh crushed garlic)

1/2 tsp of curry powder (or to taste)

1/3 cup of soya sauce or nama shoyu

enough olive oil to bind it

1 small onion, chopped and diced

Mix everything together in a bowl and then make into little burger shapes and lightly shallow fry in some olive oil. They should still be soft inside. Voila! Vegetarian burgers, or falafels. They were yummy!
