    • 425g can chickpeas or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
    • 1 large onion
    • 1 tsp ground coriander
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1 pinch chilli powder
    • 1 tsp garlic
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ cup wholemeal plain flour to coat
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    Hummus
    • 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
    • 3 tbsp tahini paste
    • 3 tsp garlic
    • 3 tbsp lemon juice

    Serve with
    • 4 wholemeal pita bread
    • 2 tomatoes, sliced
    • small handful mixed salad leaves

    Method

    1. Step 1

      To make the falafels: blend chickpeas, onion, garlic, salt and spices in a food processor until combined and relatively smooth. Form tablespoons of mixture into patties and coat lightly in flour. Heat the olive oil in a medium-high heat fry pan. Add falafels to the hot oil and cook until golden brown (approx. 2-3 minutes each side).
    2. Step 2

      For hummus: place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
    3. Step 3

      To serve, spread hummus on the pita bread and place salad leaves along the centre. Add 2 halved falafels, then top with tomato slice and red onion. Roll up the bread and cut in half, if desired.
