Falafel's on the spotlight
Ok so following on from last week, we are going to be cooking up a storm using one of my favourite kitchen essentials - yes, the Nutri Ninja!!! Now I know that there are a wealth of blender machines out there, but for me, it does the job and has spared me from spending hundreds!
This week I am sharing my baked falafel recipe. Traditionally, these high protein balls are fried and served in pita, but I have modified the recipe to make them the Inspired By Vu way and will be using the oven They are super easy to make and I love having them with my chickpea pancakes or with a giant green salad with a side of hummus (yummy!!). Check out the video below to find out how you can make your own falafels.
One thing I would say, is that once you have made your mixture,try to leave it to rest in the fridge before you form your balls and put them in the oven. I have found that it helps the mixture to settle better and avoids them from crumbling when you take them out of the oven.
Let me know how your falafels turned out. If you are on Instagram or Twitter, don't forget to follow me @inspiredbyvu and tag me in any of your pictures!
