Ingredients
For the zesty quinoa falafels
- ½ cup chickpeas 100g, soaked overnight
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion medium, red, roughly chopped
- 1 Coriander leaves cilantro, handful, fresh
- 1 cup quinoa 175g cooked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons ground almonds
For the orange tahini salad dressing:
- 4 tablespoons tahini light
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt to taste
For the bowls
- 6-7 cups vegetable floret mix I used Iceland foods frozen floret mix, 800g, frozen
- 1 salad leaves handful
- 1 cherry tomato handful
- 1 roasted peppers drained, handful, in olive oil
- 1 salad cress handful
Instructions
For the falafels:
- Add the chickpeas, garlic, onions, coriander and quinoa into a food processor and whiz until the mixture is coarsely ground.
- Then add in the oil and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not mushy.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add in all the spices, salt, baking powder and ground almonds and mix well.
- Adjust seasoning before refrigerating for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to fan assisted 170C / 190C / 375F / gas 5 and line a baking tray.
- Wet your hands and roll about 2 tbsp of the falafel into a small ball and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until all done.
- Spray the falafels with some olive oil and bake for about 25 mins until golden brown and done.
- Make the orange tahini salad dressing by whisking together all the ingredients in a bowl and setting aside.
For the bowls:
- Steam the veggies until they are cooked but firm. Set aside.
- Assemble the falafel quinoa bowls staring with the mixed leaves, then add the florets, falafels and the rest of the salad ingredients and drizzle on the salad dressing.
Notes
- Grind until coarse. Don't be tempted to overprocess it in the food processor.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour. Refrigerating makes it easier to shape these.
- Make them the same size. Make sure all the quinoa falafels are the same size so they cook evenly.
- Adjust seasoning, herbs, and spices. Add more or less according to your taste.
- Storage - These falafels will keep well in the refrigerator for 4 days. The dressing for a week and the veggies for about 3 days.
