So I’m not REALLY cooking. Well, sort of maybe. Oh, and that’s my sister, Ramana!
Falafel is from Near East. I found that it does NOT need the oil – the first batch was too oily and the rest were great. Just use a non-stick pan and maybe a little PAM.
We ate the falafel (we added 1/4 white onion to the mix) with hummus, tzatziki, tomatoes and red onion. They’re also great with cucumber but the one we had was a little bad so we threw it away. Also great with olives! Many people eat falafel with all of the above plus lettuce in a pita, but I didn’t want the extra calories.
Popcorn is just popped corn (in the video it’s Pop’s Corn by Newman’s Own but you can use any plain, unsalted popcorn). Then add appropriate amounts of:
Flax Seed Oil
Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
Onion Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Powdered Spirulina
Since some people are going to ask about spirulina, here’s a link to lots of info: http://tinyurl.com/2ms2ab
What you really need to know about spirulina is:
** It contains an unusually high amount of protein, between 55% and 77% by dry weight, depending upon the source. It is a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids, though with reduced amounts of methionine, cysteine, and lysine when compared to the proteins of meat, eggs, and milk. It is, however, superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes.
** Spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA).
** Spirulina contains vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E.
** Spirulina is a rich source of potassium, and also contains calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc.
