Delicious gluten-free falafel paired with refreshing cucumber salad and a spoonful of creamy hummus.
Ingredients:
  • 800g canned chickpeas
  • 24.00 gm tahini paste*
  • 250.00 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 egg
  • Vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • Hummus, to serve
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved, sliced
  • 125.00 ml whole mint leaves
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
Instructions:
  • Separate chickpeas from liquid, saving 2 tablespoons. Combine chickpeas, reserved liquid, tahini, parsley, garlic, cumin, and egg in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Shape the mixture into 8 flat patties. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy-based saucepan to 190°C (test with a piece of bread - it should turn golden in 30 seconds). Deep-fry the falafel in two batches for 2-3 minutes each until browned. Drain on paper towel.
  • Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl, toss together, and serve with falafel and hummus.
