Hi everyone, well this is what I cooked for tea tonight.
I often make fruit crumbles and sometimes savoury ones and today I made a savoury one but with a falafel crust and for a first attempt l'm really pleased.
I make a savoury crumble as its so quick and easy compared to gluten free pastry, the only disadvantage is you need more gravy...
Because I used a falafel mix it is also vegan so its nice to have a recipe for our vegan friends/members.
For the veg I chopped leek, sliced mushroom, chopped green beans a tin of tomatoes, I bought the veg from my local shop earlier and chose the nicest looking.
For the crust top:
1 sliced 1 red onion, chopped garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, fresh coriander and a tin of chick peas and 1 1/2 spoons of ground flaxseed and a little olive oil whizzed it up and spread it on top of the veg and baked for 35mins
And just for a change I popped some white and sweet potatoes in the oven and had them roasted with it. 🍠
If anyone would like to share what they have or would like to post a photo then please do as its all a bit of fun and it's not a competition.
Mmmm, this looks good! Lovely mix of veggies and herbs and spices, and a great topping.
Tonight I had something quite different to normal, and I didn't take a photo - but it was wholemeal tortilla wraps and I put some smoked salmon and scrambled egg inside - and had 2 wraps. I've never done that before, but I had some smoked salmon that needed using up, and so I was trying to be inventive regarding ways to do that, and also I 'fancied' that kind of food.
My son & vegan friends are going to be ecstatic over that idea! Hope you don't mind if I pass it on?
I made humungous quantities of falafels for my 50th birthday party. I tried a few different recipes, & variations from one I'd been given by a falafel stall owner. They were easy to make with a food processor. I gave the fryer away afterwards, so as not to lead me into temptation.
That looks amazing Jerry and I'm not surprised you enjoyed it which such lovely ingredients. Thank you so much for sharing, this forum is really giving me ideas.
Thank you Jerry and I will have a look at the link, I love vegetarian food. The only meat I eat is chicken and I am seriously thinking of going back to be a veggie.
Also, on a different note, have you experienced any problems with Health Unlocked today? I wasn't able to answer you initially and had to go into the main log in page, log in, find your article on the list, click on that and I was then able to reply. What I normally do is click on any replies from my emails and get in that way which is so much quicker.
Ooh, I recently stopped eating meat although I still eat fish (pescatarian). I'm also wheat and lactose intolerant. I'm always on the look out for new recipes but I hadn't thought of using falafel as a topping. I'm definitely going to have to try it. It would probably go nicely on top of a ratatouille style filling with aubergine, onion, garlic, mushrooms, courgette and tomatoes. Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration.
