What about 3 or 4 base ingredients then show how adding 1 or 2 more can make a totally different recipe. I do this with seasoning. I pretty much season everything with 4 seasonings then I'll add other seasonings to change the taste.
I REALLY enjoy your videos. This is my second one. The first one was the one with 3 different juices. You solidified my belief that all of the fruit/veggie should be consumed. I also love your video style...very down to earth - no bell and whistles. I have been wanting to make my own falafels for a while. So I am excited about using this recipe. I can't really afford a Vitamix right now, but I love watching how powerful it is! Blessings to you and your family.❤😊
We use a half teaspoon of baking soda, two cans of chickpeas, a little liquid, and pressure cook the canned chickpeas until they get mushy (around 5 to 8 minutes). The baking soda helps break down the chickpea skins. Cool them, put them in the blender and make your hummus with your preferred seasonings. Edit: this is to make extra smooth hummus. That and the ice cube trick! 😁
I just read an onion cutting hack, have not tired it, but purportedly if you chill them in the fridge or freezer, the latter briefly, it slows the release of the gas that causes us to become 'emotional'. Worth a shot and I will be trying it. My only other is to run the faucet, not uber super environmental but that seems to help too. Loving the falafel recipe, love that sammie. Making the lentil soup tonight, yumm!
I usually don't watch Long RUclips videos but this was so helpful. I want to try all of these recipes. I do second using an instant pot, it is life-changing for soups because it's done so much quicker. Plus it has a keep warm option so if you have to leave to pick up the kids or do errands you'll be okay.
Thanks !! I love falafel’s !! They look so good!! I learned now why my hummus isn’t as smooth after watching this video. I’m not tapping down the chickpeas forcefully enough and not long enough. I’ll be trying this method soon! The lentil soup also sounds amazing. Thanks again for some great recipes!😊
I’m glad you acknowledge that your knife skills are lacking. Ever thought of watching a tutorial and improving them? Thank you for this video. My wife and I are going to use these recipes for a dinner party on Friday! Great inspiration!
Great video. U look like Rebecca Ferguson. Pro tip: Buy ur spices from Indian stores, people! U get good quality and are cheaper too! You’re welcome! 😎
I think falafel is my favorite food too, it’s up there at least right next to pozole, I grew up with pozole. But falafel is something else 🤤 The effects after onion chopping is so worth it. Greetings from sunny California ☀️
Ooooohhh, do y’all have an Instant Pot? If not, get one! If yes, then that lentil soup time would not take so long. 😁😁😁 I’ve made lentil soup in the Instant Pot and it’s a fave with all who try it.
@Shalva Gale you can also cook the chickpeas in it for humus. And you don't have to soak them. Just add a teaspoon of baking soda to dissolve the skins. Enjoy.
@@shalvagale209 I’ve definitely spent my fair share of time on RUclips getting all kinds of tips on how to use it. And once you do, it’s great. I think you’d especially like it for soup…? 🤷♀️ There’s a lot of info out there to help. Jeff from “Pressure Luck Cooking” channel and Amy and Jackie’s channel and website also are two really good ones. And many others!
Im mostly plant based and fkn lovvvve your channel. I have two questions, please 1. I'm in Australia so the a3500i doesn't come with the 8oz or food processor attachment. Can I still make your falafels using just the 2litre regular container? 2. I'm into bitamixes because of you.. can I still use your link to buy from Vitamix Australia? Thank you for being sooo awesome!
Hi! Falafel is a food processor attachment thing only. It's one of the few things a standard Vitamix container cannot do. Get your Vitamix products from our good friend Tommy at RawBlend -- that helps us the most. www.rawblend.com.au/
@LINY thank you sooo much for your reply! ❤🙏 I just got the Vitamix and tried some of your soups.. also ordered a mini food processor to do these falafels! ❤
If I may butt in, I highly recommend switching to Palouse Lentils, chickpeas, and split peas. All out of this world. I get mine on Amazon. Once you try them you'll NEVER EVER go back to anything found in stores. I'm not affiliated with the company, just someone who's been a huge fan for years. Just read reviews. The lentils are the small, brown type and can literally be cooked without any spices and devoured. Split peas taste as if you grew fresh. Garbanzos rock. I eat falafel and lentil soup 4-5 times a week, including breakfast in huge batches and freeze because I'm addicted and need extra folate (NOT folic acid) as someone with MTHFR gene anomaly as 40% of population and can't process folic acid garbage.
If your deep frying it's ok to make them round but if you're shallow frying make them more like a Burger they will cook better and go in your pita better
Oh, I just heard you talk about using an air fryer -they will just be a little dry. Since I don’t use oil, I will try this with my air fryer oven. Thank you.
When making lentil soup, does it matter if you use the pink/orange lentils, or the green lentils. I know for myself, in general, when just making lentils. I much prefer the pink/orange ones.
I think some better prep and editing could bring this to half the time. I almost didn't watch it because it was so long. I'll bet a lot of people passed this by because of how long it is.
It was fine and added to the video... they have a nice style. And if you're in a hurry RUclips offers various levels of speeded up playback, and you can skip back and forward as well.
hi! this marks the third week in a row that we've done a 3-recipe video like this. keep the streak alive? what should we make next?
I liked that you are demonstrating a whole meal of one ethnicity. Other Greek combos would be good. What about Southwest or Italian themed?
Dog/Cat treats
What about 3 or 4 base ingredients then show how adding 1 or 2 more can make a totally different recipe.
I do this with seasoning. I pretty much season everything with 4 seasonings then I'll add other seasonings to change the taste.
Hi! I have a vitamix (Explorian), but I don't have a processor. Can I still make the falafels?
I love this but would love to see the recipes! The description lists juices?
Coriander is the seed, cilantro is the leaf. In Britain it is all called coriander as that is the name of the plant.

You catch the piece at the end about layering the perfect sammie? Salad, falafel, salad, falafel, sauce
Great idea! Gonna try chilling my onions next time.

Great demo! Appreciate the process. Thanks for sharing those recipes!
Best wishes!!!
I appreciate learning different cultural styles. Thanks!

googles pozole. oh that looks good! greetings from snowy cold minneapolis :)
I’ve got food processor with a double blade and it is amazing. I really think a double blade for vitamix would be awesome.
These recipes look delicious 😋
Thanks for the Knife recommendation.

We do have an Instant Pot but for some reason we haven't adapted to using it very often. We'll give the lentil soup a try in it next time though!

Looks not deceiving! 🤤
Love falafels. I love taste of cumin. I like mine with more parsley, sometimes I add cilantro too. 😅
Love ISRAELI salad. and TZCHUG. and TCHINAH. Tayiiim! AM ISRAEL CHAI
Can you share how you make your slaw recipe?

Try adding fresh cilantro.
"Protein is kind of a fad right now" lol so 2023.. Cool recipes and video!
hi I'm brand new to all of this and feel a little silly....but how do I find a link
Hold a match stick in your mouth. With sulfur outwards obviously. Learned this when I was about 11.
Not lit clearly. Lol

helpful! interested! here's an amazon link to those curious amzn.to/3Rwe0kA
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your recipes. I’m so hungry now. 😂
unfortunately, none of them are organic

Instead of frying falafel’s in oil, can you cook them in an air fryer oven?
Oh, I just heard you talk about using an air fryer -they will just be a little dry. Since I don’t use oil, I will try this with my air fryer oven. Thank you.
@@centralWisconsin1 Air fryer works great! Just not that super crispy street food style falafel. Still delicious and flavorful tho!
When making lentil soup, does it matter if you use the pink/orange lentils, or the green lentils. I know for myself, in general, when just making lentils. I much prefer the pink/orange ones.
it's really personal preference -- some are more "sophisticated" than others, but lentils are lentils (and not not lentils)
wow this is wild
I think the food processor jug might have been too full which is why the falafel mix didn't move.
Gotta have tzatziki sauce!
Onion-carrot-celery is known as mire poix!
Awesome. Just looked it up! And it’s all one word: mirepoix 🙏
I love falafel
👍👍👍👍
I think some better prep and editing could bring this to half the time. I almost didn't watch it because it was so long. I'll bet a lot of people passed this by because of how long it is.
So not use seed oils
I do love your videos, but this one is pretty long. Maybe more cuts and just video the “heart” of the instructions. 😉
Do not use seed oils please
Hi! Curious why you feel this way?
Pardon me, why the middle eastern guys say fālāfèl ?
Gross! She didn't even wash the parsley.😮
OMG. Learn to edit out all the minutia. Seriously.
It was fine and added to the video... they have a nice style. And if you're in a hurry RUclips offers various levels of speeded up playback, and you can skip back and forward as well.
You guys really need to work on your presentations.....this was awful.....
What kind of videos will you watch and tell colleagues about?
