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.
