Happy International Falafel Day!
Middle Eastern cuisine at its finest, falafel is a delicious blend of chickpeas, herbs, and spices, rolled into a ball, deep fried, and served alongside (or inside) pita bread, fresh vegetables, and topped with yoghurt sauce or tahini dressing. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy to make and you can find all the ingredients you’ll need at our cash and carry warehouse in Marbella. Or for those who want to try this tasty dish without lifting a finger, we’ve got delicious pre-made falafel in our freezer department!
Healthy Food Not Only For Vegetarians and Vegans
Fluffy, crispy, flavourful falafel is made with a few simple ingredients. A base of pureed chickpeas is combined with parsley, dill, onion, and garlic then flavoured with a classic combination of middle eastern spices: cumin and coriander. Consider adding a bit of baking powder to make your falafel extra fluffy or some sesame seeds for a more nutty flavour! Mix and roll everything into a ball, then fry in olive oil and serve with yoghurt sauce (yoghurt combined with cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, coriander, and cumin) or tahini dressing (pureed sesame seeds combined with garlic, lemon or lime juice, and sometimes fresh herbs such as parsley or dill). Simple, delicious, and healthy, it’s a classic vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meal, but also one that’s enjoyed by those who aren’t on restrictive diets too.
