Ingredients
2 cups sunflower seeds, unsoaked1 cup corriander, chopped½ teaspoon ground cumincouple pieces onion2 tablespoons tahinisqueeze of lemon2 cloves garlic1 pinch sea salt
Directions
In a blender, Grind sunflower seeds into fine powder first. Soaking these seeds would be best, but you don’t have to. Then just add all other ingredients. Sometimes I add bellpepper, carrots; just whatever I have on hand.
I like to put these in a large collard leaf and stuff it with raw olives, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, shredded carrots, and beets. Then top it off with tahini dressing mixed with dill and lemon. Its SOO delicious! yummy!

    Simple and easy. I didn't have fresh coriander and substituted parsley. Still was recognized as falafel by my kids...and they ate it all as lettuce wraps. Amazing! - 2/15/09
