Somekind of a Falafel & Hummus Combo 🤩 MUST Try Refika EATBALL & BASIL HUMMUS! New Years Recipe🎄☃️

[@mihaelabutar1209]

What an amazing racipe, an explosion of flavours! I just made it and it blew my mind.

[@Refika]

Oooo so soo happy 👍😘

[@mauriciomolinahn]

I have to say Refika is the most lovely cooking host I've ever seen before! I totally admire her passion and style. You can taste the love for food, Turkey and family tradition. Is a great example for everyone. I'm Latino, living in Germany and definitely will try to meet such inspiring woman!

[@Gingersnp13]

And she is so kind to her coworkers and always very positive and happy!!!😊

[@noamanhafiz8155]

I agree with you

[@duakadri4626]

Forty rules of love is a masterpiece, my no.1 book... I haven't read a book that is even closer to the level of FROL. Falafel and humus is a bomb combo 😍 glad that I gotta taste it in Istanbul 😋

[@megantingen5997]

Thank you for the lovely messages, they meant a lot to me.

[@Refika]

So glad to share them with you ❤️🙏

[@Refika]

I'm so glad!

[@juliehillebrand8923]

Thank you for the spiritual parts, I truly appreciate this. The advice about keeping the food processor on while adding an ice cube every few minutes is mind blowing. I have been making hummus for years, and this makes me stop and think!

[@borislavakakolevas7658]

Hi Refika, greetings from Australia! Thank you for keeping me company and keeping up the spirit far away from home. Just ordered your book on Amazon, so it will fly to Australia too:-) Admiration for what you are doing with passion and heart.

Thank you so much for the vegetarian inspiration. I will veganize it by using aquafaba instead of eggs.... Love ❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦

The 40 rules of love is one of my all time favorite books. I love that you opened with that and I love ALL of your videos. I’m lucky enough that I get to watch both the Turkish and English videos. Thank you for your knowledge and your videos. So much love from Australia ❤️

[@VeretenoVids]

Thank you so much for everything you have shared with us this year. I heard about the horrible inflation in Turkey on the news this week. I hope all of you and yours will get through the current crisis and that the New Year will bring you much love, joy, and peace!

[@heersyal2454]

Since we are approximately 100 days from Ramadhan, I'm thinking the Eatballs will make a great substitute for those days when meat is just too much to handle on fasting days Oh, yes please! I will definitely purchase a signed copy, a gift to self for my B'day coming up in a few weeks time! I too, love the connecting stories with each of your recipes, another great reason to share with all of us around the globe

[@Refika]

Thank you so so much... I really appreciate it..

[@TheMoni76]

I got hooked on your videos and recipes, Refika. I'm not a veggie, but absolutely opened for a more plant based diet, for which your kitchen gives very inspirative and helpful recipes and ideas. And I also like your attitude to save as much food as you can, and not throw them away. And last, but not least, thanks for your sense of humor which makes the videos soooo amusing! Greetings from Hungary!

[@susannaal-labban8412]

I love all your videos, but this one was extra special! I love all the beautiful quotes from the book and I love how you believe that love is transferred into foods from your hands. I feel the same way. And I'm so stoked you made a recipe for vegetarians. I have been a vegetarian for 40 years now. This recipe can be gluten-free, if you use a gluten-free flour blend, and gluten-free breadcrumbs, easily available, at least in the US. Thank you so much. I'm sending all my best wishes to you and your team and your family for a Happy New Year!!! 😊

[@AmeeenaAli]

I know what YOU are to this world and its a blessing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@amateurepicurean8168]

I made these "eatballs" and hummus yesterday for a dinner party we had last night and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone loved them. I made 2 kinds. One kind was exactly your recipe and the second was similar but had the addition of mint and oregano and instead of haloumi I used feta. I can't say which one was more popular as there was nothing left! Love to you Refika, and to your talented and lovely crew!!

[@joanweinzierl982]

I am still experimenting with correct temperature on my electric cooktop (and with different oils for frying), but despite my shortcomings this recipe is WONDERFUL! So delicious. I'm sure with more attention to oil temp and using hazelnut oil, my efforts will be much improved. And thank you for the introduction to Elif Shafak - The Forty Rules Of Love is on my list with your help. So beautifully written!

[@panuntukan]

Tebrikler ! I remember a very interesting recipe on your channel, made by Burak Beycimiz, it was a salted cake made out of lentils (no flour). Maybe your followers would be interested by it. I made it once, and it worked very well.

The falafels and hummus look absolutely amazing!! I’m making this for sure! You have such a beautiful energy as well. Happy New Year to you and the crew!

Happy new years Paloma!! ❤️

[@peterstjean2098]

I made the meatballs today and have cooked one to taste while the rest chills in the fridge. The flavor is amazing! They remind me of a dish I had in Barcelona at a restaurant called Et tu Bola (maybe spelling it wrong). I didn't add the cheese because I have some family that try to avoid it. I also will have to wait on the basil hummus because for whatever reason I can't seem to get any fresh organic basil. Thank you so much for the videos, the recipes, techniques and sharing your Turkish culture with us!

[@RAF-MANN]

Love Falafel...and these Eatballs. Looks fantastic and delicious. You convinced me to invest in a powerful food processor. Happy Holidays and a New Year.
