About this pre-recorded class:
Guest chef Shahir Massoud, author of “Eat, Habibi, Eat: Fresh Recipes for Modern Egyptian Cooking,” is the teacher of this pre-recorded Zoom cooking class where you’ll learn how to achieve falafel perfection. According to Shahir, great falafel should have a crispy, golden exterior that reveals a bright-green center. Green, you ask? That’s right: true Egyptian falafel is made with fava beans, not chickpeas. Shahir’s version uses frozen edamame and peas, making this a perfect dinner solution when you’re not sure what to make for dinner and turn to your freezer for inspiration. And rather than making a whole bunch of individual falafel, we’ll keep things simple by cooking them like a burger (though you could certainly use this recipe for smaller falafel, as well). To accompany our falafel burgers, Shahir teaches you his favorite way to prepare tabbouleh, which starts by giving the tomatoes some time in a low-temperature oven to amplify their natural sweetness. From there, the tabbouleh is a bright and flavorful combination of garlic, olive oil, lemon, cucumber, fresh herbs and, of course, bulgur. This class puts Egyptian-style falafel and tabbouleh easily within reach for many weeknight meals to come.
