Here are the ingredients you need

• 250g raw lentils, soaked

Method

1. 1Soak the lentils in cold water overnight.
2. 2The next day, drain them very thoroughly and add them to the food processor with the remaining ingredients.
3. 3Process well and let the mixture rest in the fridge for at least 30min.
4. 4Once chilled, shape into patties or balls and bake at 190ºC for about 12-15min, depending on your oven.
5. 5All done! Our LENTIL FALAFEL is ready.

Extras

1. 1If you make them with cooked lentils, you'll need to add flour until you get a workable dough.
2. 2They can be fried instead of baked.
3. 3You can shape them into round balls instead of flatter patties like mine.
4. 4You can follow the exact same process using chickpeas.
