Ingredients:

400 g Tin of chickpeas, drained

1 cup Chopped yellow onion, sautéed

3 Cloves garlic

1 Small handful flat leaf parsley

1 Small handful fresh coriander

Spices: cumin, chili cardamon, black pepper, salt, cayenne and whatever else you love

¼ cup Plain flour (can be gluten free)

¼ cup Crushed almonds (optional)

Directions:

Chop and mix up all ingredients in your kitchen machine. I stopped my machine just before everything turned too mushy. It's nicer when it has some texture left

Wet your hands and form the mixture into small balls

Set aside into fridge for 30 min

Then use a good heavy based non stick fry pan, and turn up to MEDIUM heat. Careful not to have the temperature up too high

Add the falafel balls, brown on one side

Turn with spatula and brown the other side

I served mine with salad although some people like to place them into wraps or pocket breads. If you are not trying to lose weight, by all means, "carb up" otherwise a fresh mixed salad is all you need with it

Add a blob of vegan yoghurt or tahini or chilli sauce
