Ingredients
For the Falafel
- 200 g Chickpeas — cooked or tinned, drained
- 1 clove Garlic
- 30 g Onion — roughly chopped
- 10 g Fresh coriander — fresh, chopped
- 5 g Parsley — fresh, chopped
- 1 tsp Curry Powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric
- 20 g Plain flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
For Assembly
- 1 piece Tortilla Wrap
- 80 g Halloumi Cheese — sliced
- 50 g Houmous
- 30 g Mixed Leaf Salad
- 40 g Cucumber — sliced
- 20 g Pickled Red Onion
- 2 tbsp Tahini Dressing
Method
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, parsley, curry powder, turmeric, flour, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together but still has some texture (not a smooth paste). Shape into 4-5 small patties.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the falafel for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper.
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed and fry the halloumi slices for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Set aside.
Warm the tortilla wrap in a dry pan or microwave for 10-15 seconds. Lay flat and spread the hummus generously down the center.
Layer the salad leaves on top of the hummus, then add the falafel and halloumi slices. Top with cucumber slices and pickled red onion.
Drizzle generously with tahini dressing. Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll tightly from bottom to top. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Use dried chickpeas soaked overnight for the most authentic falafel texture
- Don't over-process the falafel mixture - it should be coarse, not smooth
- Make extra falafel and freeze uncooked for quick future meals
- Add a sprinkle of za'atar or sumac for extra Middle Eastern flavor
FAQs
- Can I bake the falafel instead of frying?
- Yes! Brush the falafel with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They won't be quite as crispy but will still be delicious and lighter.
- Is this wrap vegan?
- The falafel is vegan, but the halloumi cheese is not. To make it vegan, omit the halloumi and double up on falafel, or use a vegan cheese alternative.
