Falafel are deep-fried balls or patties of chickpea or broad beans,
with added herbs, spices, onion and garlic and are widely eaten
across the Middle East. While the style varies from region to
region, they’re usually enjoyed in a wrap or pitta with salad,
tahini, pickles and a spicy sauce. Long popular in Britain,
particularly among immigrant communities, falafel are now a
nationwide staple, and have swiftly become one of our most popular
fast foods. It’s not hard to see why: they also fall into that
wondrous overlapping category of being crave-worthy and satisfying,
as well as nutritious and fairly low in fat. What’s more, they
are a brilliant source of protein for those who don’t eat meat.
They are rich in fibre and modern falafel are often made with added
vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils, or grains, as are many of the
delicious recipes in this book. Try the Fennel &
Lemon Scented Falafel or Juicy Brown Rice Faux-lafel. Find Crunchy
Sesame Falafel or Falafel Croquettes or enjoy snacks such as tasty
Mediterranean Seed Falafel, all packed with good stuff, and very
low fat. Whip up a drizzle such as Home-made Tahini Sauce, as the
perfect complement your hot, freshly cooked patties. Finally, make
tangy quick pickles, crisp herby salads and easy flatbreads so you
can serve your freshly cooked falafel with all the trimmings and
enjoy it as its best.
