With chickpeas & a hint of basil

Coriander, cumin and basil make for a wonderfully warming Mediterranean Falafel. They’re high in fibre and a great source of protein too.

Falafel has always been a mainstay on the menu in the Mediterranean, but it’s thankfully made its way around the globe. New York’s street vendors are particularly well known for their take on the dish; step out the subway and you’ll be guaranteed to catch a whiff of a falafel stand. With punchy spices like coriander, cumin, smoked paprika and basil, this falafel recipe is all about the flavour. Basil naturally enhances the spice blend, with the chickpeas providing a creamy subtle nutty base for these incredible Mediterranean inspired flavours.
