Falafels

Looking for a protein filled lunch or quick dinner option. Falafels are perfect for that. Quick to make, full of flavour and pack a protein punch. I love to have them in a wrap on the go, as well as in a quick throw together salad for my work lunch.

With this recipe if you want to alter the flavour and add some spicy, you can. This recipe is a base with so many options for flavour. I quite enjoy mine spicy, so I had in some chilli flake. I love loading them up with the fresh parsley and coriander too. These falafels canb be baked instead of pan fried. Give it a go and share your creations with me.
