Ingredients
Tips and Inspiration
Falafels are a delicious way of incorporating some vegetarian protein into their meals. The downside is the deep frying that goes with it, which this recipe avoids making life really easy. The texture is a slightly different, but these tasty chickpea morsels work really well with most accompaniments, such as tahini and salad in a pitta sandwich.
Method
Step one
Heat the chickpeas and the sauce from the two pouches in a non-stick frying pan and reduce to a dry texture. Save the spices for a different cook or add them in for more flavour (but remove them before the next stages). Leave to cool.
Step two
Mix the tahini with the lemon juice, 3 tbsp. boiled water and a little of the parsley. Season to taste.
Step three
Once cool, mash the chickpeas mixture, add half the breadcrumbs and the chopped herbs. Mix well, form into balls and flatten slightly, resembling falafels.
Step four
Dip into the flour, then straight into the egg or aquafava and roll in the extra panko breadcrumbs.
Step five
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the falafels until golden brown. Turning halfway.
Step six
Serve with the tahini sauce and garnishes if you like.
Please ensure food is cooked through and piping hot before serving.
