INGREDIENTS

1 can (400g) Pams chickpeas, drained
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
¼ cup fresh coriander
½ cup fresh parsley
3 Tbsp plain flour
1 tsp cumin
200g of your favourite hummus (we used feta and spinach)

METHOD

In a food processor combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, coriander, half the parsley, flour and cumin. Season with salt and pepper and pulse until well combined.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and place in the fridge to firm up for at least 30 minutes.
Bring a generous drizzle of olive oil to medium-high heat. Form the falafel mixture into 12 patties and cook for a few minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.
Spread the hummus over a serving platter or plate and top with the falafel.
Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.
