Background

These Spiced courgette falafels are different to the usual but they are rather lovely! Also, they can be gluten-free if you use chickpea, rice or corn flour - even fine polenta would work! Serve them warm tucked in a toasted pitta with green salad and tzatziki, or serve them cold in a wrap or in a salad. Perfect for picnics or lunch-boxes too!

Ingredients

½ small courgette
1 tin chickpeas (400g)
2 Tbsp flour (wheat, chickpea, corn or rice)

2 Tbsp olive or sunflower oil

Instructions

Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Grate the courgette then squeeze out any excess moisture through a sieve.
Put all ingredients in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper Whizz until you get a creamy but textured paste.
Divide the mixture into 8-10 equal golf balls size balls. Set aside until you're ready to cook them ( you can even freeze them)
