Baked Chickpea and Carrot Falafel with Pea and Mint Mayonnaise

A friend who doesn't eat meat but does eat eggs was visiting. She doesn't like soups but loves legumes and warm dishes, so we decided to make these falafels, which you can bake or fry. Personally, I prefer to add a bit more breadcrumbs if frying. They're energizing, healthy, vegan, and fat-free. To accompany them, I made this mayonnaise, which we really liked for its flavor and quick preparation. I hope this recipe inspires you to try it!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by preparing the falafel by processing all the ingredients in a blender.
- 2
I personally sauté the finely chopped onion a bit because we don't like finding raw onion in our food.
- 3
Add the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, a splash of sesame oil, and the spices.
- 4
Add the breadcrumbs at the end, depending on the texture you want. For baking, I used 3 heaping tablespoons, but for frying, I like to add a couple more tablespoons.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.
- 6
Form small balls and flatten them slightly. Bake for about 15 minutes, turning them over, or until golden to your liking. My oven is very slow, so I left them in a bit longer.
- 7
Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. Put the peas, garlic, lemon juice, mint, and egg in the blender.
- 8
Blend well and gradually add the olive oil while continuing to blend, moving the blender up and down, until you achieve the desired texture.
- 9
Serve and enjoy. We love dipping the falafel in the mayonnaise!

Chicken Breast with Wasabi Mayonnaise Chicken Breast with Wasabi Mayonnaise
I wanted to make a delicious dish using chicken breast meat. I tried different grated seasonings with soy sauce mixed with mayonnaise. And I thought wasabi was the best choice.By the way, I tried mustard, whole grain mustard, umeboshi (salt-cured plum) paste, yuzu pepper paste, etc.The spiciness of wasabi tones down after a while once you open the package. So if the spiciness is not enough, add 2 and 1/2 teaspoons of wasabi instead of 1 and 1/2 teaspoons. I make this often for bento as it's not so greasy even when it's cooled off. But if I don't make a lot more than I need for bento, my boyfriend polishes it off for breakfast. Recipe by Mine neko cookpad.japan -

Chicken Breast Teriyaki in Chili-Mayonnaise Ponzu Chicken Breast Teriyaki in Chili-Mayonnaise Ponzu
I wanted to make a chili mayonnaise stir-fry using breast meat. I got hints from other user's recipes to create this.■ Mayonnaise: Half a teaspoon will bring out the flavor of the sweet chili sauce. Using the full teaspoon is a lot of mayo, which will give it a smoother taste.■ Honey helps soften the meat, but it'll be fine without it. However, it's prone to burning, so be careful.

So I cooked it with a mayonnaise marinade!When pan frying the pork, brown over fairly high heat. The meat doesn't have to cook through at this point, since it will continue cooking on the grill after brushing with mayonnaise sauce. For 4 servings. Recipe by Umakappe cookpad.japan
