Dry frying tofu makes all the difference in texture and taste.

Are you willing to share your recipe for the whole-wheat version of Smitten Kitchen’s No-Knead Bread? And how about your raisin-pecan loaf recipe? That sounds divine!

I’m also trying to like the tofu, so I appreciate this post. And, um… “Just LET IT LIE.” (That’s the next line of that fabulous film, right?)

Sorry for the long comment, but here is the falafel recipe we like.

1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1 dash pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup dry bread crumbs
oil for frying

In large bowl mash chickpeas until thick and pasty (they are easier to mash if you heat them up). In blender process onion, garlic, and parsley until smooth. Stir into mashed chickpeas.

In small bowl combine egg, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, cayenne, lemon juice, and baking powder. Stir into chickpea mixture along with olive oil. Slowly add bread crumbs until mixture is not sticky but will hold together.

Form 8 balls and flatten into patties. Pan fry.

*I add breadcrumbs until the mixture isn’t sticky but I’ve never considered it to hold together all that well.

**Instead of frying I bake the patties on an oiled baking sheet at 400 deg. for 10 min on each side.

The peanut noodle recipe sounds delicious! As a vegetarian, I highly recommend you bake the tofu instead of serving it cold. 450 until it’s brown with a little salt and pepper on it and a sprinkle of soy sauce and it will be delish!
