  • ½ cup soaked sesame seeds
  • 1 cup soaked pecans or walnuts
  • 1 cup soaked almonds
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ jalapeno pepper
  • ¼ cup loosely packed parsley leaves

  • 1½ teaspoons freshly ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • ¼-½ cup fresh water
Instructions
  1. Puree the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, and garlic with the olive oil and lemon juice in your food processor. Stop and scrape down the bowl a few times.
  2. Rinse and drain the nuts and seeds.
  3. Add them along with all of the dry spices.
  4. Puree until all the nuts are ground to about the size of a sesame seed or smaller.
  5. Add fresh water if necessary to mixture so that it will hold together in the next step.
  6. Moisten hands with fresh water and form falafel into 1 ½ inch balls or patties ¾ of an inch thick and 1 ½ inches across.
  7. Place them on the mesh screen of your dehydrator tray.
  8. Dehydrate at 145 degrees for 1 hr
  9. Then turn temperature down to 115 degrees for 4 hours or until they reach your desired crispiness. You may want them to stay moist in the middle or be crispy all the way through.
  10. Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week.
