Chop half an Onion and the Red Pepper
Gently fry the chopped Onion and Red Pepper in some Olive Oil for 5 – 10 minutes or until soft and sweet… Add half a teaspoon of ground Cumin, one and a half teaspoons of ground Coriander and a crushed clove of Garlic (or two) and continue to fry for a few minutes. Take off the heat and add to a large bowl
While the Onions are cooking, in a food processor, whizz up the remaining half an Onion, one or two more cloves Garlic and the drained Chick Peas
Add the whizzed Chickpea mixture to the same bowl as the cooked Onions and Peppers and mix up together with some seasoning (Salt & Pepper) and some chopped fresh Coriander and Parsley (or Mint would work). Chopped fresh Red Chilli is a good addition at this stage if you like them spicy
Make Falafel shaped balls (or you could make Falafel Burger Style Patties…)
Place them on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper
Cook at 190˚c for 20 – 30 minutes or until slightly browned and a little crunchy on the outside
Enjoy with Flatbread… Or some Beetroot Salad… Or some Plain Basmati Rice… A squeeze of Lime or Lemon never goes amiss either
