This recipe captures all the flavors of an 'authentic falafel' whilst making it low in fat and high(er) in fibre...what more could you want? Ingredients:
1 (400 g) can chickpeas |
1/4 cup coriander, chopped |
1/4 cup parsley, chopped |
1 egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 medium onion |
4 garlic cloves |
1/2 cup oats |
1/4 cup breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoons cumin powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
1 dash pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Throw the onion and garlic (peeled!) in a food processor until they're chopped.
2. Drain chickpeas and give them a wash, then add them to food processor. Pulse until mashed - but not to mushy!
3. Scrape the onion/garlic/chickpeas mix into a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients.
4. Mix until completly blended.
5. The mix should be thick but not too stiff.
6. Grease a non-stick pan and drop mixture in tablespoon sized 'blobs' into the pan.
7. Cook on each side for a few minutes - until browned and slightly crunchy- then flip.
8. Continue until all mix is cooked.
9. ENJOY!
10. P.S: the final product will be a bit crumbly but it doesn't matter - they're so delicious!
