Low Carb Falafel with Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup raw cauliflower, pureed ½ cup ground slivered almonds 1 Tbsp ground cumin ½ Tbsp ground coriander 1 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp cayenne pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 2 large eggs 3 Tbsp coconut flour Tahini sauce: 2 Tbsp tahini paste 4 Tbsp water 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp salt

Instructions

For the cauliflower you should end up with a cup of the puree. It takes about 1 medium head (florets only) to get that much. First chop it up with a knife, then add it to a food processor or magic bullet and pulse until it's blended but still has a grainy texture. You can grind the almonds in a similar manner - just don't over grind them, you want the texture. Combine the ground cauliflower and ground almonds in a medium bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well blended. Heat a half and half mix of olive and grapeseed (or any other light oil) oil until sizzling. While it's heating, form the mix into 8 three-inch patties that are about the thickness of a hockey puck. Fry them four at a time until browned on one side and then flip and cook the other side. Resist the urge to flip too soon - you should see the edges turning brown before you attempt it - maybe 4 minutes or so per side. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve with tahini sauce and a tomato & parsley garnish if desired. Tahini sauce: Blend all ingredients in a bowl. Thin with more water if you like a lighter consistency.
