Time 20m

Yield Serves 4-5 (makes 20)

Number Of Ingredients 5

125g dried chickpeas
½large onion , roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed
½ tbsp ground coriander
200ml olive oil

Steps:

  • Soak the chickpeas for 12-24 hrs in at least double the volume of water. Drain, then put in a blender with the onion, garlic and ground coriander and a good sprinkling of sea salt and pepper. Blitz, scrape down the sides, then blitz again until you have a grainy paste.
  • Scoop up tablespoon-sized balls and flatten them slightly so you have an oval-shaped pebble. Shallow fry in about ½ a cm of oil. They should take about 3-4 mins to go golden brown and crisp on each side. Remove and leave to rest on kitchen paper. Serve in our ultimate falafel wraps.
