It’s taco Tuesday! Hope you get to eat some tacos today. Have an amazing day 🌮🌮🌮
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yeah you could.
Lol ok you, just you don’t label it then, so you can have meat surprise
Sometimes you can get extra surprising results this way. I once had a couple of small bags of shredded chicken in the freezer. I added some leftover frozen gravy and dumped them all in the microwave to reheat. Mixed them together, went to eat it. Turns out one of the bags of "chicken" was actually parsnip peelings I'd put aside to add to stock later.
That would’ve been a big surprise. I hope you had a good laugh after you figured out what you had bit into 😅
Been there, dumped “pasta sauce” that was actually stewed plums into my chicken. Turned out edible but took some serious sideways thinking to fix.
That's called mystery meat. I have a slab of falafel in my freezer that my husband put in there. It took me awhile to work out what it was because it looks like something a cat chewed.
Haha I just burst into laughter. Something the cat chewed 🤣🤣🤣
Falafel ain't pretty when it's frozen.
I don’t think I’ve ever had falafel in all my years on this earth and I’ve been here a long time
Ooo you are missing out.
I did a google search and read what’s in it. Is it spicy at all? Like is there pepper?
It doesn’t need to be. The defining part is that it’s a deep fried ball of ground chick peas or broad beans (or a mixture). It usually has parsley, garlic, cummin and coriander for flavouring.
Sounds kinda tasty
It is tasty if done well, and it’s a good source of nutrients, especially for vegetarians.
Falafel from take-away places is hit-and-miss. There’s probably more bad falafel than good falafel being sold in Australia. If you went to a random kebab joint and bought a falafel roll, I wouldn’t bet on it being good.
You can make it at home. If you do, you need to soak the chickpeas in water but don’t cook them before grinding them. If you cook the chickpeas first, they’ll break up while deep frying. It can take a few goes to work out how to get the oil temperature and cooking time right, so it cooks through while being crispy but not burned on the outside. There’s also the issue of having to clean up your own kitchen after deep frying.
