Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • 2 x 400 g tins chickpeas drained
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes more if you like them hot!
  • 2 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoons Coriander ground
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 15 g fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • 15 g fresh coriander (cilantro) roughly chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F. Lightly grease a large non-stick baking sheet with the olive oil.
  2. Place all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and blitz together using a stick blender. You want to achieve a rough texture, with most of the chickpeas blended, but some still whole. Once you have blended to the right consistency, stir the falafel mixture with a spoon to make sure everything is well mixed.
  3. Shape the mixture into 24 small balls. Flatten each ball slightly, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Put the falafel into the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked all the way through.
  5. Serve with other mezze dishes, such as pitta breads, hummus and salad.
