Drinks and Finger Food Recipes - Falafel Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 12

  • 125 g/4 oz dried broad beans, soaked overnight in cold water

  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plus extra to serve

  • 1 tablespoon tahini

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint

  • salt and pepper

  • vegetable oil, for shallow-frying


Method: 

  1. Drain the broad beans and dry thoroughly. Place in a food processor and blend to form a fairly smooth paste.

  2. Transfer the pureed beans to a bowl. Stir in all the remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper then cover and chill for 1 hour. Form the mixture into small patties.

  3. Heat a shallow layer of oil in a nonstick frying pan and fry the patties, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Serve 2 with Greek yogurt.
