We picked up courgettes for 49c in Aldi last week and they aren't the favourite vegetable in this house. I am going to make chutney with some of them but I wanted to try some in a falafel recipe today. Usually when I make falafel I use soaked chickpeas but I didn't have time today.
This made 12 falafels at a cost of about 80 cents
Ingredients
Tin of Chickpeas - drained and rinsed
Onion - chopped
Garlic
Cumin
1 carrot - chopped
1courgette - chopped
Wholemeal Flour
Salt
Chili pepper
Sesame seeds
Method Add everything to your food processor except the flour and blitz until smooth. Add enough flour to get to a consistency where you can shape the mixture into balls but wet enough to easily coat in sesame seeds.
Bake in a hot oven for 20 mins,
We had these with crushed chips, salad and a slaw made form even amounts of celeriac and carrot
