Ingredients
Scale
For Falafels
- 1 c. raw cashews
- 2 c. chickpeas [canned, drained, and rinsed]
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp. buckwheat flour
- 1/2 of a medium sweet white onion
- 1/2 c. fresh basil
- 1/2 c. fresh Italian parsley
- 3 Tbsp. cold pressed olive oil
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
For Salsa
- 1 1/2 c. grape tomatoes [diced]
- 1 jalapeño [chopped]
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 Tbsp. cold pressed olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. oregano
- pinch of sea salt
- pinch of fresh black pepper
For Horseradish Sauce
- 1/2 c. vegannaise
- 5 Tbsp. freshly grated horseradish root
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. fresh black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. white wine vinegar
Instructions
- 1. Grate 5 tablespoons of fresh horseradish and add it to a medium bowl. Add veganaise and vinegar and stir to combine. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to intensify.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- 3. Pulse the herbs in the food processor then add the remaining falafel ingredients and process until a smooth mixture forms.
- 4. Form the mixture into falafel-sized balls [about the size of a golf ball]. A cookie dough or ice cream scoop works great as a reference. Just scoop and roll the mixture into a round-ish shape, then place on the pan. When you’re all out of falafel mixture, pop them into the oven. Bake for 8 minutes on one side then gently flip them and bake for 8 more.
- 5. While the falafels are baking, get started on the salsa. Slice grape tomatoes into small slivers and dump them into to a medium bowl. Add finely chopped jalapeno, olive oil, and vinegar and mix it all together.
- 6. Once the falafels finish baking, allow them to cool before putting them into the wrap. Place 3-6 balls on the leaf, depending on the size of the leaf. Top with horseradish cream, then salsa, then carefully fold up the ends of the leaf and roll it into a rough burrito-esque shape. Enjoy the flavor explosion.
