Falafels

This recipe has been borrowed and adjusted a few times so I hope if the original creators find it, they are ok with the changes.

Ingredients
  • 2x400g cans chick peas, drained & rinsed

  • 1/4-1/2 leek, roughly chopped
  • 
2-3 cloves garlic

  • 2tbsp quinoa flour with a pinch of baking powder added
  • mashed potato and/or cashew nutbutter (amount varies according to taste
  • 
salt
Method
  • Place chickpeas, leek, garlic into a food processor and blitz until smooth (you can use a hand held barmix and bowl if you do not have a food processor
  • Add flour, potato/nutbutter and salt and purée again  until it is quite smooth
  • Roll mixture into balls, about heaped teaspoon lots and lightly flatten to make into 'medallions' or larger to make burger-size patties. (If your mixture is too 'wet' to handle, add flour and lightly mix through until you can use it.  I also found dropping the balls of mixture into some more flour, coating them, made them easier to handle.)
  •  Bake in Moderate Oven 30-40 minutes (turning at approximately 20 minutes
  • Drain on kitchen paper
