Yams Falafel With Za’atar Yogurt Sauce Recipe

Hope you guys enjoyed this recipe video!! I forgot to put our instagram’s in the video �� SO if you make this recipe be sure to let us know by tagging us at @maddielymburner & @kylemfraser ���� Don’t forget to give this video a THUMBS UP if you enjoyed it, and let me know what you think in the comments below ���� Thank you all for the love and support! Much love xx

Thank you for this. After hearing you mention za’atar so frequently, this was the video to push me to try some (thanks Tara and Eloise for suggesting). I tried it three of the ways you mentioned: zeit u za’atar; mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper as a salad dressing; and the scrambled eggs and goat cheese. Totally digging it subtle, but with this interesting tang that must be from the sumac.

It’s like a middle eastern furikake; I am definitely going to try making za’atar onigiri someday:-)

from what i’ve seen, every celebrity/youtube chef likes spicy food, and they always have to say it��

Why Palestine and not Israel??? Isn’t Israel a “place like that”??? Or does Jamie Oliver deny the existence of the state of Israel???

Mmmmmm machallah very yumiiiii so test hummus with beetroot tahine nature yogurt pomegranate grain and chopped nut lime juice salt pepper and chopped dill is very delicious appetizer

I put bought zaatar and tried it in my omelette and enjoyed it..

I love it when people say “Khobez Bread” or “The Sahara Desert”.
You do know those mean “Bread Bread” and “The Desert Desert” respectively, right?

Great VIDEO!!! ����
Now know how to enjoy it ������
Thank you!!!

I was SO excited to try this recipe because I love Maddie and I watch all of her videos. I didn’t make the sauce, the dressing and the wrap, I only made the falafel and I don’t know, perhaps that was the problem. I made sure I used the exact same ingredients with the proper measurements but still… it just wasn’t good at all. I know it’s Indian food but it was SO SPICY and it makes sense because it has pepper, turmeric, coriander, red pepper flakes and cumin in it but literally my family and I weren’t able to eat them, maybe we’re not used to spicy meals:( Either way thanks for sharing!

I’m sure its awesome! I make a chipotle garlic sweet potato that has everything you put in there except the tahini and their so gooood. Thanks chef John, enjoy the Vids.

“So I think ill add about a quarter cup to this.” proceeds to put way more than a quarter cup lmfaooo looks very good though!

Good recipe but what is with that over excited camera man? Stop running around and line up a shot! The camera work reminds me of what it would like if you stuck a GoPro onto a medium sized dogs head while his owner cooked a meal. Seriously guy calm down.

I find it so hard finding ingredient in my hometown….friggin small town are so great but then they suck so bad for that exact reason…wish I had a Costco close by….

Hey guys so I’ve never have tahini before could some please roughly explain what it taste like

Why do you stray away from oil? I’ve been binging your content and was just wondering! I know this is from 2 years ago so you probably won’t see it ��

He has no idea…
I bet no one tried this recipe it just doesn’t look good… The oil wasn’t hot enough at least do a reshot and don’t mumble “let’s put the heat up”.
The only way Palestine should be mentioned here is that it’s a made up nation, something like this off falafel recipe..

Merry Christmas to you and your family. عيد ميلاد مجيد. المجد لله في العلى و على الأرض السلام و في الناس المسره

wow..thanks…you gies are awesome….!! mine are too wet..thanks for the oatmeal tip..thats the fix…!!

You know food is good when you start to do the pentecostal jig �������� I am so trying this! new subbie ��

Hi thanks for posting! The link to the recipe doesn’t appear to work anymore unfortunately

please what can you use in place of chickpeas. here in africa chickpeas are rare and expensive

I simply don’t get the thought process of the person who disliked the video!

I just discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching. I really like your attitude!:)

Great!! thank you! I am half Syrian from Los Angeles and grew up with my dad eating zataar all the time with bread (baked on). I actually just bought some pita and zataar today and went on youtube to find a way to put them 2 together and didn’t think of dipping it, DUH! lol…. We usually get our fresh Zataar + bread baked at Forn Al Hara in Anaheim, CA. its great there. great reviews on Yelp too!

The song reminds me of the song from Aladdin on SEGA. Nineties kid. Is it Big Pimpin’?

Zaatar scrambled eggs on top of rice! That’s how I like my breakfast.

I love zaater so much.. how is the sea of herbs brand with regards to freshness and quality compared to like what I can get at my middle eastern local market? And how do they ship to the states? Ty

Made this the other day, loved everything except the tahini. I used Trader Joes brand. It was my first time trying Tahini and I went the cheapest I could find.

I have the same food processor but mine is turquoise!
Im so glad I Found your recipe. All the other vídeos say it has to be dried and homemade cooked chickpeas. I just have the canned one so I’m gonna give it a try

Would you freeze the falafel before you bake them, or after they are baked?

She looks like a goddess…until she turns sideways…OMG, what a shnoz, yikes. Someone start a gofundme for this lovely woman to have a nose job

I made this recipe plus the hemp seed dressing. It was delicious!!! Thank you so much for helping make my vegan journey so exciting and satisfying!

Thanks! Great recipe. Personally, I don’t like the drizzled olive oil on hummus, so I will just skip it. We eat too much oil as it is.

I am glad we still added the Cayenne, I’d be sad if we didn’t

I bought zaatar (roasted thyme) from my local middle eastern store and the first ingredient is wheat? Is that supposed to be in there? I grew up eating this stuff just like that with olive oil and pita and I LOVE it but now I’m worried I bought the wrong one. Please let me know. Thank you!

I made this a few days ago and it was great! I should have know sweet potatoes make most things better.

Thanks for this video Blanche, didn’t know it had that many health benefits ����

it looks heavenly healthy with all thé good vegies in there…complicated though…. another thing i could not stand seeing all those rings in his fingers!!! hooribble. not healthy. disgusting

That is the perfect impersonation of Oliver. Same movements same talk. Now show yourself.

Just made this, Just devoured this! What a great and easy recipe. It was so delicious and well balanced with sweetness, zest, spice and bite. You have wonderful recipes and I am inspired to create without being afraid to experiment. Thank you for sharing your gift! God Bless!

02:46 Yes, my dad is in front of the telly watching House and my mum is fixing the light bulb.

Looks great and like a lot of dishes to do for when lunch., I think I will still try it once

Okay, I didn’t know falafel was so easy to make! Yah!! Can’t wait to try this.

As an Arab watching this, I gotta say it got me out of my comfort zone a bit. But it is nice to see people make different versions of your food:)

Vegan sucks, i think you need something other that falafel, like a double cheeseburger you toothpick, or my last name to fill you up with man cream

Loved this video; I must go back and catch up on all the old ones that I have not seen. Also, love Max’s version of “Big Pimpin’.” ��

Can I bake the falafels instead? If yes, then for how long?

Aaron Craze cooks the way a musician plays. His videos on FoodTube are making me realize how similar the arts are.

Hi Maddie, I made your hennep sauce today and it was really good!! I went vegan almost 2 months ago and are still finding a new food rhythm now that I’m eating 100% plant based and mostly avoiding processed foods. I have been looking for good oil free dressings for my salads so I’m really excited about this one. Thanks a lot for inspiring me! ☺️

one of the main ingredients in falafel is onion i don’t know if you tasted it, and coriander, we Also add a normal potatoe to hold it together, also try sweet potatoes hummus its soo good:) fun video, new kicks ^.^

Good ideas. But I think there’s a problem with Naming, the word Hummus comes from the name of Chickpea in Arabic, it’s called “Hummus Habb,” which literally means pieces of hummus or hummus seeds. So, saying Pea & Feta Hummus totally means that it contains Hummus “spiced chickpea paste” with it..:) 

Thanks for the recipe.

I made this awesome dish and the compliments just kept on coming!! It was Super easy, healthy and oh soooo good! Thanks for the recipe and demo, keep it coming!

Great video! One more cheese you forgot to mention was nabulsi for the eggs, how could you:) it works!

Mmm yummy!! I didn’t have any pitas or tortillas etc on hand but luckily I had some Chinese lettuce and they tasted delicious! �� Thanks for the recipes and inspiration!! ��

Can you please make rice and lamb grape leaves in a pressure cooker? I have everything down EXCEPT the cooking process. Driving me nuts. Please I’m begging lol

Food Network…Are you paying attention!?!?! Seriously, the world is ready for this yummy food and your channel is gold! So glad I stumbled upon it.

Olive and eggs….once u eat it that way you’ll never go back! My kids call this tita’s eggs! The best. Love your channel!

One of the basic ingredients in flafel are onions, and galric and flafel seasoning those are essential

I like the wrap thing less bread more falafel how would u eat frozen falafel how would i reheat falafrl properly

I must try this. BTW, your arms are ripped1 Wow! What do you do to get a set of those?

Or do i need more ingredients. to them to fry when combine cousouse,blk beans, rice they didn’t come togather i might n missing some ingredients 2nd msg from the first msg i send to please reply keisha thx

Thanks for your great teaching and good humor, Chef! You’ve helped me believe I can cook.

Feed these food to jamie off-screen don’t share your odd nob ideas to the world who knows falafel and hummus you big IDIOT

This looks so delicious! Although I am a little freaked out by all the licking-sauce-off-fingers business

yooo i was with u until bf ran his hands thru his hair and then dipped his finger in the sauce…

sn: i do like yr videos tho… i really appreciate the simplicity and ease in your presentation and preparation. thank you so much

Everything you makes looks mouthwateringly delicious. But what I really want to learn is the art of pronouncing Ghamis!

Can we put zaatar on bread and labneh without using olive oil?

his name is already pretty crazy… he should just go all the way and change it to Aaron craVe… u know more cullinary

Hiya! I was wondering what the texture of the falafel was like? Because last time I made falafels and this was without the sweet potato they came out super soft, your recipe seems more promising haha

thank you. my children are vegetarian and being a traditional Southern cook is a challenge. We’ve hummus-ed our way around the world and this is very good.

zaatar look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Za%27atar#/media/File:Majorana_syriaca_-_za%27atar.jpg

New subbie here, I love falafel and can’t wait to try this recipe and few others like the gumbo. I always wanted to try gumbo but because I’m allergic to shellfish I could never eat and never thought of a vegan version, so thank you in advance!

I made this “hummus” yesterday and it is amazingly delicious. While I was adding the ingredients I kept thinking “this seems like too much tahini” or “I don’t think this much cumin is going to taste good”. I was very pleasantly surprised. I don’t like hummus and it causes some gastric distress, but I love this version! This sweet potato hummus goes great on my homemade spelt and buckwheat bread…YUM!! Thanks Chef John!

Love making these thank you for making the directions so easy. You are absolutely right they are delicious.

Just made this for dinner…WELL DONE!!! Not knowing how traditional falafels are served, I decided to chop up some tomato to throw on it as well. The whole thing was delicious! Thanks for the “how to”!

Doing the zejt u saghtar (Maltese spellings) right now-it’s always so worth it:)

Just made it and it is the dogs proverbials!!!!!:)  nice one fella!!!!!

It’s nice to see I’m not the only one that dances when I’m eating. Looks delicious!

Thanks for the video! I just made this, it’s great. I didn’t have parsley, so I mixed in chopped fresh mint, which worked well.

I’m sold! You are about to change my family’s life, Sis! Thx!!!

Sweet Potatoes turned savory >>>>>> Sweet Potatoes turned sweet

The “flavors mingle marry and get to know each other”

French chef: “But not so long as they start to become annoyed with each other.”

hello i love flafel in my country they put onions garlic greens then they fried them i will try ur flafel recipes and i will try to freeze them i am super lazy

just found you…and subscribed! Do you know if the falafel would freeze well and would they be as good?

Ok I’m not even a fan of sweet potato but give this to meeeee.������

I have a vitamix not a food processor does anyone know if you would use the dry blade vs wet blade for this? I’m thinking because of slicing the chickpeas and garlic in particular? thanks

Yesss! It seems like za’atar is the new “it” spice and that makes me so happy! And you’re totally right, my tete would ALWAYS tell me to eat zeit w zaatar before a big exam �� all you need is cheese and a good cup of shai and it’s the best meal ever!

I made the sweet potato falafel and they are really good. But I didn’t deep-fry them. My mistake, because they fell apart in the pan. But it was delicious anyway ��

Baba Ghanoush is just hummus made with eggplant instead of chickpeas, why not sweet potatoes?

I have made this.
It is one of the most delicious things I have ever had in my life.
There are no words to thank you, chef.

Maddie, I’ve made this recipe 3 times and it’s amazing! My kids absolutely love it and trust me these kids are tough to please. They are super picky. Thank you:)

You don’t simply or just do whatever, either you do or don’t. And as always, don’t sing.

What store would have either sumac or zaatar. We have a Patel Brothers Indian grocery store and a Grand Asia Market in my city. (USA)

Great recipe but watch out for how sweet it tastes, it may not be to your liking. Recomend molding the mixture with your hand into small balls and covering them with flour before frying, just like a falafel, trust me you wont regret it.

it is kinda different, seeing sweet potato “falafel” and hummus with feta instead of yoghurt, but it actually sounds and looks quite yummy. I’d give it a try.

your boyfriend looks soo much better without his beard, i didnt even notice that it was your boyfriend in the beginning

A big thank you, coming from a 50 years old dad. Great recipes and easy to follow with amazing results. Thanks I have made many amazing dishes for my kids because of you. Much appreciated

I was thinking to combine zaatar with a little honey and to make a crust for something with it. Like greek cheese or a beef filet. What do you think?

OIL FREE!?!?!?!?!?! Subscribed,, and pretty girl,, funny numbed guy too xD (tho he seems dead too often:) well as long as hes legit,, not a fan of fakes,, luv his honesty,, n girlsexynergy

I LOVE this idea. I am having issues with digesting beans. These things start happening when you start to get older (and I love beans!). Think it is the skins causing the problem. And I love hummus. You are the Bomb. (Again, showing my age since I think “the bomb” is an eighties phrase, oh well��⭐❤)

Hi Blanche, does Zaatar effect milk flow while breastfeeding?

You know, the right/traditional way to make falafel is by using a meat grinder.

As far as I know, falafel are made with raw chickpeas that have been soaked overnight but not cooked. Anyway, I will try your version. Thanks for sharing! You look so lovely!

getting close to 3 million, congratz, should be 30 million though

Yeah!!! Gotta try this as I really dislike garbonzo beans. Yammus. I wanna make some Yammus.

Thank you for bringing Palestine into conversation ������Need awesome vegan ideas please

that cucumber you holding  is big sis. you put a brother to shame… being sarcastic

I have a on/off relationship with hummus, i dont like it plain but if it has roasted peppers or a shit load of garlic I cant get enough, however, sweet potato hummus sounds like something I would love every time no matter what ��

Don’t know if I’d call this a falafel. I probably just call it Awesome!

Without Chickpeas or any beans it’s not falafel. Cmon you could’ve added Chickpeas or broad beans and let the sweet potato be something to sweeten as an additive.
