#InternationalCoffeeDay and #WorldVegetarianDay
Coffee and Veggies for ALL! Did you know that it is International Coffee Day and World Vegetarian Day ?! Here are some of our fave go-tos with some fall flair ... AKA pumpkin spice anyone?
Falafel in Fall
|
What you will need:
|
Instructions:
- The day before you start making the falafel, place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl. Fill it with plenty of water (the chickpeas should be covered by at least 3 inches/7 cm but add more water if needed) and soak for 18-24 hours. Drain the chickpeas completely and use a paper towel to lightly pat dry them (if they are too wet).
- Transfer the chickpeas along with all other ingredients to a large food processor. If you have a small food processor, you will need to work in batches. Process everything for about 20 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the food processor and blend again. Do this a few times until the mixture is well combined, but not mushy.
- Refrigerate the falafel mixture (in the food processor bowl) for about 45-60 minutes (or longer).
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop the falafel mixture and shape it with your hands to form a ball (or make a patty/disk if you wish). Do this with the remaining falafel mixture.
- Use the cooking spray to lightly spray the falafel balls. Also, spray the basket of your air fryer to avoid sticking. Heat the air fryer to 375ºF (190ºC) and set the timer to 15 minutes. Cook the falafel balls in the air fryer, flip them after 10 minutes. They should be crispy and slightly brown on the outside. You might need to fry them in batches if necessary.
- Serve hot on its own or assemble the falafels in pita bread with tahini, lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. Enjoy!

Bean Burger Makes 4 large patties ⠀
Avocado Pesto
|
Instructions:
- In a pan, sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes (if using). Transfer everything to a food processor. Add in the flour and breadcrumbs. Add in the basil and salt. ⠀
- Quickly process. Do not over process especially if you’re using a variety of really soft/over cooked black beans. Leave a few chunks of the beans and mushrooms to make sure the mixture doesn’t become too soft/paste-like.⠀
- Dip your hands in a bowl of water and form the mixture into patties. ⠀Heat a pan with 1-2 tbsp oil. Over medium heat, add in the patties. ⠀
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden grown.
- Assemble the burger - your way! Suggestions include: Ketchup, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Purple Cabbage and of course the Avocado Pesto!

- Add the milk to a second pot or to a microwave safe jar and heat just enough to warm through.
