What are Falafels?
Scrummy tasty VEGGY MEATBALLS...Dead easy to make, Cheap!!! and only 100 cals (aprox)
Sorry...no real recipe for this one..
Serves 6 persons...(can be frozen)
Method
1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, then fry the onion and garlic over a low heat for 5
mins until softened. Tip into a large mixing bowl with the chickpeas and spices, then
mash together with a fork or potato masher until the chickpeas are totally broken
down. Stir in the parsley or dried herbs, with seasoning to taste. Add the egg, then
squish the mixture together with your hands.
2. Mould the mix into 6 balls, then flatten into patties. Heat the remaining oil in the
pan, then fry the falafels on a medium heat for 3 mins on each side, until golden
brown and firm. Serve hot or cold with couscous, pitta bread or salad.

They sound nice whether low calorie or not!
Do you drain all of the juice from the tinned chick peas?
Do you ever put lemon juice or sesame seed oil in to boost the taste?
I bet coriander would go well with these also.
