Serves 2

For the falafel:

  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • salt and pepper

Method:

  1. Cook onion and garlic in the coconut oil along with the spices.
  2. Chuck in with everything else in the food processor (or you can mash it with a potato masher but it will be coarser, which is also fine).
  3. Make into 9 balls. Serves 2. 4 each – fight over the last one.
  4. Bake on a non-stick baking tray and brush lightly with a smidgen of olive oil.
  5. Cook at 170 C for 25 minutes. Turning over half way.
  6. Leave to cool and then hide them! Terribly moreish.
