VEGAN FALAFEL FRITTERS
I'm going to show you how to make the most incredible green falafel fritters with super-smooth houmous and crunchy salad pickles. The star of the show is the humble chickpea, which is high in protein and fibre, and lends itself to so many delicious dishes that we know and love. Load it all up in a flatbread for a gorgeous vegan feast. Hallelujah!

Steps:
- To make the salad pickle, squeeze half the pomegranate juice into a large, shallow bowl. Top it up with an equal amount of red wine vinegar, then drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and give it all a good mix.
- Peel and finely slice the red onion, finely slice the chillies (deseed if you like), matchstick the cucumber (I like to use a crinkle-cut knife) and shave the carrots into ribbons, then combine it all in the bowl.
- Holding the remaining pomegranate half cut-side down, bash it with the back of a wooden spoon so the seeds tumble out over the salad. Pick and tear over half the mint leaves, then gently toss and leave aside until needed.
- For the houmous, tip half the jar of chickpeas into a food processor and season with sea salt and black pepper. Add the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, peel and add the garlic, finely grate in half the lemon zest and squeeze in all the juice. Whiz until super-smooth, then transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Pick over a few parsley leaves and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the chickpeas into a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle over the paprika and dukkah, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crisp, then tip over the houmous.
- For the falafel fritters, place the remaining chickpeas and mint leaves into the food processor, along with the peas and self-raising flour. Quarter the preserved lemon, removing any pips, and pulse until combined.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large frying pan over a medium heat, then dollop in heaped teaspoons of the falafel batter. Fry for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden, sprinkling over the cumin seeds when you flip them.
- Now it's time to bring everything together. Warm the flatbreads in the oven for a few minutes and crush the pistachios (if using) in a pestle and mortar. Put the soya yoghurt into a bowl and stir in a few dashes of chilli sauce. Load up your flatbreads with a bit of everything, pick over the remaining parsley leaves, then roll up and tuck in!

Steps:
- (One day in advance) Place the dried chickpeas and baking soda in a large bowl filled with water to cover the chickpeas by at least 2 inches. Soak overnight for 18 hours (longer if the chickpeas are still too hard). When ready, drain the chickpeas completely and pat them dry.
- Add the chickpeas, herbs, onions, garlic and spices to the large bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. Run the food processor 40 seconds at a time until all is well combined forming a the falafel mixture.
- Transfer the falafel mixture to a container and cover tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or (up to one whole night) until ready to cook.
- Just before frying, add the baking powder and sesame seeds to the falafel mixture and stir with a spoon.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the falafel mixture and form into patties (1/2 inch in thickness each). It helps to have wet hands as you form the patties.
- Fill a medium saucepan 3 inches up with oil. Heat the oil on medium-high until it bubbles softly. Carefully drop the falafel patties in the oil, let them fry for about 3 to 5 minutes or so until crispy and medium brown on the outside. Avoid crowding the falafel in the saucepan, fry them in batches if necessary.
- Place the fried falafel patties in a colander or plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Serve falafel hot next to other small plates; or assemble the falafel patties in pita bread with tahini or hummus, arugula, tomato and cucumbers. Enjoy!
