Falafel balls

Falafel balls

2 cans of chickpeas, drained (400g each)
handful of fresh parsley
handful of fresh chives
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp of chilli flakes
1 tsp Tahini
juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp of plain flour

Place all the ingredients in a food processor (or finely chop everything and mash together) and blitz until it forms a lumpy mix, season with salt and pepper to your taste preference.
Roll the mix into small balls just smaller than a golf ball… use slightly wet hands to avoid getting messy.
Fry the falafels in a hot pan with oil until crispy on the outside and hot right through.

Makes about 16 falafels.
