Falafels are a great way to load up on chickpea powered protein 💥

Rachel Allen has hit the mark again with this Middle Eastern Style Falafel dish with Carrot, Apple and Cucumber Salad. Packed with nutrition, texture & flavour - it's a winner 👍 😋

INGREDIENTS (makes 20 - serves 4-5)
🥗 1/2 onion (approx. 60g/2 1/4oz)
🥗 1 clove of garlic (peeled)
🥗 250g (9oz) soaked chickpeas (125g (4 1/2oz) dried)
🥗 1 green chilli, seeds and all
🥗 3 springs of parsley, picked
🥗 1 small bunch of coriander (about 15-20g/1/2 - 3/4oz), leaves and top part of stems only
🥗 1/2 tspn ground cumin
🥗 1 tspn freshly ground cardamom pods
🥗 1/2 tspn salt
🥗 2 tbsp plain flour
🥗 1 tspn baking powder

METHOD

Roughly chop the onion, garlic, chilli and herbs and put them into a food processor, pulse a few times, then add the chickpeas and blitz until everything becomes a thick paste with small, even-sized bits. The best way to check whether it is done is to scoop up a small amount and squeeze it together in your palm - it should hold its shape.

Tip the mixture into a large bowl, add the spices, salt, flour and baking powder and mix until combined well. You can shape the falafel mix in a few different ways: Use damp hands and make little balls or torpedo shapes or you can simply drop in spoonfuls of the mixture for free-form falafel. You want to be making them about the size of a walnut, no bigger, so that they cook through and crisp up at the same time.

Pop some olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and let it heat up. Carefully place the falafel in the pan - don't overcrowd the pan and fry until the exterior is browned and crisped (about 2-3 minutes). Remove to a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil and repeat the process until you have fried them all.

Healthy pancakes, fresh fruit and Greek yogurt yum, just what I needed after 2 miles of hill sprints and a 2.5 mile run. Happy Pancake day everyone.
