AGAlin Ghiorghiu2 min read
Who does not like falafel? In this tasty version you will find that preparing them is not so complicated after all! With the addition of F3 protein powder, Beta Heart and roasted soya nuts from Herbalife Nutrition, these delicately spiced falafel work both cold for an autumn lunch outdoors and warm for a nice dinner as the days get shorter.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 250 g of dried chickpeas (or 2×400 g of tinned chickpeas, drained)
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 handful of parsley, stalks removed
- 1 handful of coriander
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 tsp of ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 2 servings (12 g) Formula 3 protein powder
- 2 servings (16 g) Beta Heart
- 1 sachet (21.5 g) of Herbalife Nutrition roasted soya beans, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 120 g of tahini
- 120 g of low-fat plain yoghurt
- A handful of salad leaves to garnish (optional)
Preparation:
- If you use dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in plenty of cold water.
- Drain the chickpeas and purée them roughly in a food processor, then put them in a large bowl.
- Blend the onion, the garlic and the herbs together until you have a soft paste. Add to the chickpeas
- Work in the spices, salt, F3, Beta Heart and soya beans. Shape small balls and fry them in oil, or bake them in the oven at 180C with a little oil for 20-25 minutes until they are well cooked and golden brown.
- While the falafel are cooking, mix the tahini and the yoghurt. Season to taste.
- Serve the falafel hot or cold with the yoghurt and tahini sauce and, if you like, with a green salad.
