Ingredients
Falafel
3 cloves garlic
1/2 red onion chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1 cup dried chickpeas soaked for at least 12 hours (or two 15oz cans of cooked chickpeas)
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/3 cup chickpea flour
Olive oil for frying
Tahini sauce
2 tbsp tahini
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 clove garlic crushed
2 tbsp water
To Serve
2 cups green leaves
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
1. Add onion, garlic, and parsley into your food processor and pulse a few times.
2. Add drained chickpeas, cumin, salt & pepper, and process until you have a granulated texture.
3. Transfer the mix into a bowl, and add the chickpea flour. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
4. Roll the mixture into balls – it should make around 14-16 falafels.
5. Add oil to a skillet and fry the balls until lightly brown and crispy. Turning as necessary.
6. While the falafel is cooking, prepare the tahini dressing by adding all the ingredients together in a bowl, and whisking to combine. Add more water if you like a runner sauce.
7. Once cooked, place the falafel onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
8. Assemble your bowls by adding greens, tomatoes, and falafel to a bowl, and drizzling the tahini dressing on top.
Notes
You could easily make this into a buddha bowl by adding other ingredients such as corn, beetroot, hummus, kimchi, or quinoa to your bowl too! Be creative.
