Cooking Instructions

  1. Combine the chickpeas, peas, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, cumin, chilli flakes, salt, pepper, baking soda and chickpea flour in a food processor bowl. Pulse until well combined but not puréed. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  2. Heat sunflower oil in a heavy-based pan and form the mixture into small patties.
  3. Fry the patties in batches without crowding the pan. Cook them for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. When cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place on some kitchen paper.
  5. Place all Green Goddess Dressing ingredients, except salt, into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.
  6. Arrange salad ingredients on a platter and add the falafel, almonds, and dressing, sprinkle seeds.
