Spinach Falafel

 

SPINACH FALAFEL

I don’t normally use spinach when I make falafels but as we have got plenty of perpetual spinach at the moment, I thought it would be a good to add some to my normal falafel recipe. We tried them today and they worked well.

Spinach Falafel

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in water overnight and then drained

    1. Blend the chickpeas in a food processor.
    2. Add the remaining ingredients and blend again to form a dough.
