Yummy falafels

For a taste from the Middle East, try these falafels: they’re vegetarian and are almost too easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1 brown onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons of ground coriander
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 cup of chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 2 400g cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• ⅓ cup of flour
• 1 eggwhite
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Method:

1. In a food processor, process eggwhite, flour, parsley, chickpeas, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion and salt and pepper until nearly smooth.
2. Shape into three-cm thick patties.
3. Cover patties and refrigerate for half an hour.
4. Over medium heat, heat oil in a frying pan. Cook each patty for four to five minutes per side.
5. Serve patties with Greek yogurt.
