Pea & Mint Falafel Recipe
National Vegetarian Week
“Falafel is an instant transporter for me – my mind goes to bustling vibrant markets bulging with street food, with achingly colourful spices and flavours in the air. The freshness and flavour of this dish should conjure these moments.”

Method
Pea & Mint Falafel, Black Pepper Labneh & Pickles
Step 1 – Blend your peas, onion, garlic, fresh herbs & lemon juice until they form a smooth green paste & set aside.
Step 2 – In small batches using the same blender, blend your Chickpeas until they form a crumbly texture & combine with your green paste from earlier. Then adding your salt, dried coriander, cumin & mix to finish your falafel mixture.
Step 3 – Combine your yoghurt with your lemon juice, black pepper & salt to finish your Labneh.
Step 4 – To cook your falafel, divide your falafel mixture into 100g disc shaped portions then heat 300ml of vegetable oil on a medium heat until it reaches 175c in a large pot being careful to leave a lot of space. Fry until golden, roughly 3 minutes on each side.
Step 5 – To serve, spread your labneh onto a plate, top with your hot falafel, then garnish with your dressed salad on top, sea salt, Aleppo pepper & olive oil to finish your dish.
ENJOY!
