Background

These green pea falafels are a lovely treat during the spring & summer seasons. They are easy to make and can be eaten warm or cold - so it's ideal for parties, picnics and trips. Serve in a pita bread with a yoghurt sauce and plenty of salad, if you like.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 shallots
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
150g fresh green peas
1 handful mint leaves
1 handful of coriander leaves
1 can of chickpeas (400g)
1 egg
50g bread crumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
Oil for frying
For the Sauce: 100 ml Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic (minced)

Instructions

Finely chop the shallots.
Heat the oil and fry the shallot until soft. Add the spices and stir for half a minute. When fragrant, turn off the heat.
Blanch the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, the rinse with cold water and drain.
In a food processor whizz the peas, shallot, chickpeas, egg, herb and breadcrumbs until you get a coarse mixture.
Form about 20 little balls from the mixture (the size of a walnut) and place these onto a tray. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Mix the sauce and chill until serving.
Heat plenty of hot oil in a deep pan and fry the balls for a couple of minutes until golden and crispy. Drain them on kitchen paper.
Serve with the sauce.
