The current issue of Sea Kayaker Magazine (the one with Bambii's picture on page# 26) talks about camp meals on pages 16-17. They mentioned "falafel". Well - another challenge.
Off to the grocery store I go and get some. Well - what do you know! Mediterranian gree-itz! Or, the eastern version of refrito frijoles. Another simple meal for camp. Made from a store-bought mix, it can also be made at home & dehydratred, or made fresh in camp.
The base is garbanzo beans (chick peas to our suthrin bruthrin). Add some flour to make it into a dough, flavor it up with some garlic, parsley, onion, and lemon juice. Mix that up, and drop 1" balls into hot oil in a frying pan, & flatten them a bit. About 3 minutes to the side. Three of these fried balls in a pita bread half, along with lettuce, cucumbers, & yogurt makes a tasty sandwich.
If you leave out the flour and eat it as a cold spread, it's humus. Smears out nicely on white flour tortillas, and goes well with chopped onions & tabasco. Sometimes it helps to wash it down with your favoirtie sudsy-type beverage.
