Green Day Falafel (with pic)

I made these today and they were really nice! My only complaint was that I would add more salt next time (but I did use that reduced sodium salt so it might have made a difference and I didn't measure it!) and maybe a bit of chilli as they were a little bland for my liking - although still tasty! Great recipe to add your own variations.

Makes 12 falafel (mine made about 15)
Syns per falafel: 0.5 (excl sauce)
Sauce yields 5 tbsp - 0.5 syn/tbsp

¾ c water
¼ c bulgur
3 c chickpeas
½ c fresh coriander
½ c spring onions
1/3 c water
2 tbsp self raising flour (7 syns)
1 tbsp cumin
¾ tsp salt
¼ – ½ tsp cayenne
3 garlic cloves

Sauce (optional):
1/2 c low fat natural yogurt
1/2 tbsp tahini (2 syns)
1/2 tbsp lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 220.

2. Boil ¾ c water. Add the bulgur, remove and let stand for 30 mins then drain.

3. Blitz the remaining ingredients in a food processor. Stir in the bulgur. Divide into 12-15 portions and bake for 10 mins on each side. (I turned the grill on and did an extra 2 mins on each sound to brown)

4. For the sauce, mix together all ingredients and drizzle over the falafel.

They look lovely, will be making these one night this week. Stacey, you could be the next Delia in the SW(world!) Lol.

LOL! Don't think so! I just look for recipes that I like the sound of and try to adapt them! But thanks!

they sound and look lovely - thanks for the post staceyUK

just checking the "c" is for "cups" ?

Yep, c is for cups - you can buy measuring cups in most supermarkets now. Very handy to have!

Another great recipe Stacey! Thnx - I always look forward to trying them out! Hopefully I will get around to making these at the start of next week after I do my next shop, thanks again, xx
