Falafel
Ingredients
1 onion, peeled and then finely chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped.
2tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
2 x 400g tins chick peas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp plain flour, plus a little extra for frying
Handful of coriander leaves ( optional)
Handful of chopped mint
Make a nice mint yogurty dip
To serve 4 pitta breads
what ever dressing you wish for, water cress and vine tomatoes.
Preparation time 5 - 10 minutes
Method
Soften the onion in 1 tbsp of the olive oil for a couple of minutes. Then add the garlic and spices, and cook for a few minutes.
Next spoon the onion mix into a bowl, adding the chick peas and flour and roughly blend with a hand blender or you can use a food processor.
Chop the coriander, if using, and add to the jug with chopped ( personally I would love the coolness of a mint dressing) especially delicious on a lazy Bank holiday Monday.
Divide the mixture into 8 and dip in a little extra flour. Then heat the remaking oil and fry the falafel for a few minutes on each side, until golden.
Serve in a warmed pitta bread with a minty yogurt dressing, water cress and vine tomatoes

I had salad in already and the other ingredients in already as I deem them to be stable ingredients I use all the time.
I also had an Unbreakfast meal over the Bank Holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed as a family, Morrisons low prices really brought use together as a family.
Disclosure I was sent some Morrisons shopping vouchers to do my shopping , my opinions and my recipe are my own.
Yum! I love falafel, they look so delicious.
