Ingredients

120g pack Asda Falafel Mix

400g can Asda Chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3 tbsp lemon juice (from a squeezy bottle or freshly squeezed)

3 tbsp tahini

1 tsp Asda Easy Garlic (or 1 garlic clove, crushed)

3 tbsp olive oil

4 pitta breads

1 dill cucumber, sliced

2 roasted red peppers (from a 280g jar Asda Extra Special Roasted Red Peppers), sliced

420g jar Asda Pickled Red Cabbage, well drained

Method

Stir 150ml cold water into the falafel mix. Set aside, stirring every so often.

To make the houmous, whizz the chickpeas in a blender to a smooth paste with the lemon juice, tahini, garlic and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season to taste.

Shape the falafel mix into 12 balls using wet hands. Fry in the rest of the oil for 4-5 minutes.

Warm the pitta breads and fill with the houmous, dill cucumber, red peppers, red cabbage and falafel.
