FALAFELS

400g tin of chickpeas
drained and rinsed
1 small onion
finely chopped
2 garlic cloves
crushed
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
25g parsley
leaves and stems roughly chopped
½ lemon
juiced
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
vegetable oil
for frying

TO ASSEMBLE

4 large tortilla wraps
4 tbsp hummus
¼ Iceberg lettuce
shredded
4 large salad tomatoes
deseeded and finely diced
pickles of your choice
(we used pickled red onions)
4 tbsp chilli sauce
(we used sriracha)

Method

step 1
Pulse the chickpeas in a food processor with the remaining ingredients until it forms a grainy paste, then season well with salt and stir in the flour.
step 2
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and shape into balls the size of table tennis balls. Flatten slightly using wet hands and put onto a lined baking tray. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
step 3
Cover the base of a frying pan with the oil. Over a medium-high heat, fry the falafel in batches for 4-5 mins, turning halfway, until they’re crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
step 4
Lay out the tortilla wraps and spread over the hummus. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes and pickles before stuffing in the falafel and drizzling over the chilli sauce. Wrap up tightly to serve.
