Ingredients
1 small Onion, roughly chopped; plus extra, sliced, to serve (optional)
1 Garlic Clove, crushed
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1½ tsp Ground Cumin
¼ tsp ground Chilli Powder
400g tin Asda Chickpeas in Water, rinsed, drained and patted dry with kitchen paper
2 tbsp Plain Flour
25g Fresh Parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp Olive Oil
¼ Cucumber, grated
150g Asda Fat Free Greek Style Yogurt
4 Pitta Breads, halved, to serve
Asda Mild Baby Leaf & Rocket Salad
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2
Place the chopped onion and garlic into a blender or food processor with the spices, chickpeas, flour, parsley and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt. Blend until the mixture is quite smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times. Whizz until everything is combined and you can easily shape a spoonful of mixture into a ball without it crumbling.
3
Wet your hands with cold water so the mixture doesn't stick as much, then divide the mixture into 12 and shape into small balls.
4
Place the falafel on the tray. Brush with the remaining oil and bake for 30–35 mins, or until crisp and golden.
5
Put the cucumber and yogurt in a bowl and mix well. Stuff each pitta with salad, falafel, sliced onion (if using) and drizzle with dip.
