Beetroot Falafel Wrap Recipe
INGREDIENTS
3 Florette Beetroot
3-4 tsp light olive oil
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 x 400g tin chickpeas in water, rinsed and well drained
1 egg
Pinch sea salt
2 tbs ground almonds
60g fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
2-3 sprigs fresh mint
To serve
Flatbreads
1 bag Florette Crispy salad
4 tbs Plain Greek yogurt
4cm piece cucumber
1 lime, cut into chunks
METHOD
-
Sauté the onion in 2 teaspoons of the oil for 2-3 minutes until soft but not browned. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika and cook for a further minute then tip onto a small plate and set aside to cool
-
Add the beetroot to the food processor and tip in the chickpeas. Break in the egg then season with a good pinch sea salt. Add the ground almonds, breadcrumbs, mint and cooked onion and spices
-
Put on the lid and process for 30 seconds or so until mixed together and coarsely chopped. Scrape down the sides and process again for a few seconds until fairly smooth but still with a little texture. Scrape out of the processor into a bowl
-
Preheat the oven to 170ºC fan/190ºc conventional/gas 5
-
Form the mixture into small balls and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and drizzle with a very small amount of olive oil (or use an oil spray). Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and hot all the way through
-
Meanwhile make the yogurt and cucumber dressing. Grate the cucumber then squeeze out some of the water and place the cucumber into a small bowl. Add the yogurt, a pinch of salt and a little fresh lime juice
-
Serve on flatbreads with salad leaves, the yogurt dressing and wedges of lime for squeezing. Fold up and enjoy.
