Edamame Falafel With Spicy Coriander Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse chickpeas and edamame until roughly chopped. Add parsley, cumin, and 2 teaspoons salt; process until mixture is finely chopped and holds its shape when squeezed. Shape mixture into 20 balls.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. In a medium straight-sided or cast-iron skillet, heat 1 inch oil over medium-high. Fry falafel, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer falafel to towels; season with salt.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, coriander, and cayenne. Season with salt and serve with falafel.

Steps:

• Place the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and garlic into the bowl of a food processor. Blend on high speed until the spices and garlic are finely ground.
• Add in the tofu, edamame, onions, parsley, cilantro, flour and soy sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. Process until the mixture forms a rough paste.
• Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a deep, wide pot to 375 degrees F.
• Roll the falafel into 2-inch balls. Fry the balls in small batches until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and lightly season with salt.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss with the arugula and romaine lettuce. Season lightly with more salt and pepper.
• To serve, divide the salad greens among four plates. Divide the falafel among the plates, placing on top of the salad. Spoon the Tofu Tahini over the falafel. Garnish with some Pickled Shallots and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
• Serving Ideas: In a pita bread as a sandwich. On toothpicks as an hors d'oeuvre/appetizer.
• Combine the sesame seeds, yogurt, lemon juice, soy milk, lemon zest and tofu in a blender and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and add water if necessary for consistency. Keep refrigerated until needed. Can be served warm or cold.
• In a small pot, combine the rice vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar, mustard seeds, chile, star anise and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then remove from the heat.
• Place the shallots in a deep bowl set over another bowl of ice. Pour the hot brine over the shallots and submerge the shallots, gently stirring with a spoon. Place a paper towel over the shallots to completely submerge them. Allow to cool to room temperature. Keep refrigerated in the brine until needed.

Steps:

• For the falafels:
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set a large pot of salted boiling water over high heat, and prepare an ice bath. Blanch the edamame and peas in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then immediately transfer to the ice bath. Drain and dry.
• Transfer the edamame and peas to the bowl of a food processor and add the flour, parsley, cilantro, dill, mint, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, caraway seeds, chili flakes, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until smooth. The falafels should be the consistency of wet sand and keep their shape when you form some into a ball in your hand.
• Divide the falafel mix into 8 to 10 burgers, depending on your preferred size, then form into patties. Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the burgers are keeping their shape-don't worry about flipping them. This step can be done ahead of time.
• To make the Tahini Mayo:
• Combine the garlic mayo and tahini in a bowl. If the mixture is really thick, add a little cold water to loosen it.
• To serve:
• Heat the canola oil in a large pan over high heat. Fry the burgers for 1 to 2 minutes, until the surface is crispy, then flip and fry for another minute. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Toast the brioche buns, making sure not to burn them, then spread Tahini Mayo on each side of the bun. Layer with a falafel burger, lettuce, tomatoes, turnips, and hot sauce to taste.

Steps:

• Heat a saute pan over high heat. Add edamame, sesame oil, vinegar, oyster sauce, sriracha sauce, and sesame seeds. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce coats all pods evenly, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving.
