Ingredients
- 200g baby spinach
- 400g can drained chickpeas
- 100g feta cheese
- 2 tsp cumin
- 100g plain flour
- vegetable oil , for frying
- tzatziki , to serve
Instructions
- Pour a kettle of boiling water over baby spinach in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out any water – do this really well or your falafels will be too soft. Pulse in a food processor with drained chickpeas, feta, cumin and plain flour until just combined. Roll into tbsp-sized balls with wellfloured hands, then flatten into patties.
- Fry in batches in vegetable oil for 2-3 mins each side, then leave to cool. Place on a baking tray, cover with cling film and freeze. To serve, defrost in the fridge overnight and cook at 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 for 5-10 mins. Serve with tzatziki.
