Falafel recipe with sprouted lentils?

Does anyone know of a recipe for falafel using sprouted lentils? I am trying to cut down on my nut usage due to costs and the fact that I use these already in alot of other recipes so I am looking for some variety.

    I dont have one using sprouted lentils, but i made a delicious one using carrot pulp, sesame seeds and flax seeds.

     

  • I google'd this because I wanted to try it too...I found this simple recipe. I used sprouted chicpeas/garbanzos in my raw hummus recipe that I posted on here a little while ago. You don't have to sprout tails on the peas if you don't want, but the taste is much better if soaked for 24 hrs and water changed every 4-6 hrs. This is actually how I make cooked falafel except I add lemon juice, but I think it is a good idea to leave it out of this recipe because of the parsley and cilantro. I can't wait to try these myself.

    Ingredients

    2 cups sprouted chickpeas

    1/2 cup cilantro

    1/4 cup parsley

    1 TBS evoo

    1 1/2 TBS cumin

    1 tsp sea salt

    Directions

    In a food processor, blend chickpeas until fine. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well. Roll mixture into small balls and place on a mesh dehydrator screen. Dehydrate at 105 degrees for 4-5 hours, longer if you desire a crispy falafel.

  • Oh I'm gonna try that recipe but with sprouted lentils instead of chickpeas, I'll let you know how it turns out. I hope these lentils sprout soon it's been 2 days. I think I am starting to see some little tails.
