Ingredients

  • 1 tin chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, pressed
  • 2 tbsp oat flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas, place in a food processor together with the remaining ingredients and mix to combine thoroughly. Once combined, sample a little bit and adjust spices/herbs as required.
  • Transfer to a bowl, cover with cling film and place in the fridge for around 30 minutes for the texture to become more firm and to allow the flavours to meld.
  • Once cooled, scoop out around 2 tablespoons of the mixture and gently shape into small discs using your hands. 
  • Once formed, heat a little oil in a frying pan, and cook each falafel for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden.
