FAFF-FREE FALAFELS
SERVES 3-4
10 MINS - COOK TIME

INGREDIENTS
Falafel:                      1tsp salt                   Tahini Sauce:
   400g tin chickpeas         1tbsp self-raising flour       1 small garlic clove
   1/2 red onion, chopped     1 1/2 tbsp chia or ground      20ml lemon juice
   30g parsley                flax seeds                     60ml tahini
   100g courgette, grated     Rocket, coleslaw &             45-50ml iced water
   3 garlic cloves, crushed   lemon, for serving             Salt to taste
   1 tsp cumin

INSTRUCTIONS
 1. Place all the falafel ingredients into a food processor and
    pulse everything until the mixture just comes together and
    the chickpeas are in loose, bread crumb sized pieces (do not
    make a puree!) Scrape the sides of the mixer as needed, to
    help everything pulse evenly.
 2. Once pulsed, scoop the mixture into 16 balls, and brush
    with olive oil.
 3. Select Air Fry on the Vortex Air Fryer and set the
    temperature to 205°C and the time to 10 minutes. You do
    not need to wait for it to preheat.
 4. When prompted to Turn Food, flip the falafel and brush
    again with olive oil.
 5. While the falafel cooks, make the tahini Sauce. Grate the
    garlic into a small bowl and pour over the lemon juice. Mix
    in the tahini, and water - the mixture may look a little odd
    and split at first. Keep stirring and it will come together to
    be a smooth silky sauce. Season the mixture with salt.
 6. When the falafel has cooked serve with the tahini sauce, on
    a bed of rocket. Add some coleslaw and lemon wedges and
    enjoy!
