How to make the recipe
Step 1
Make the Falafel Mixture: Combine chickpeas, pine nuts, chickpea flour, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a textured puree forms. Add Sacla’ Classic Basil Pesto, coriander and spinach, pulsing just to combine.
Step 2
Shape and Chill: Lightly oil your hands and scoop heaped tablespoons of the mixture. Roll into balls or patties, placing them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
Cook the Falafel: Deep fry in vegetable oil until golden and crispy. Once cooked, place on kitchen roll to drain off any excess oil.
Step 4
Finally, wrap it together with your favourite toppings - our favourites are Pesto hummus and salad!
