Falafel with Hummus

This classic vegan falafel with hummus dish is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, offering a satisfying blend of savoury spices and satisfying textures. These golden patties are made using canned chickpeas, making them a quick and accessible option for a nutritious midweek meal. The combination of earthy cumin, fresh parsley, and a hint of garlic pepper results in a fragrant, flavourful bite that is crisp on the outside and wonderfully tender within.

Served as a light lunch, a vibrant starter, or part of a larger mezze platter, this homemade falafel is naturally plant-based and protein-rich. Pairing the warm, spiced patties with a smooth, shop-bought hummus creates a simple yet delicious contrast that is perfect for sharing with friends. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy, homemade alternative to takeaway favourites.
