High protein falafel wrap!! Super easy to make and genuinely delicious! We use tempeh or tofu as the extra protein hit, add in more chilli or spices for a more punchy flavour. When we made these first we ended up eating them for brekkie and they went down a treat!

Takes 13 minutes minutes

Serves 23

Ingredients

 

Falafel

• 400 g chickpeas
• 1/2 onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• handful fresh parsley
• 150 tempeh
• 1 lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp oil for frying

To assemble

• 2 wholemeal tortilla
• 350 g hummus
• 1 tomato
• 1 baby gem lettuce
• 100 g red sauerkraut
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 6 tbsp yoghurt we used coconut!
• 15 g fresh parsley

Instructions

 

• Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Peel the onion and garlic and roughly chop.
• Dice the parsley and roughly chop the tempeh and add them all to a food processor or blender along with the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cumin and pulse/ blend until it comes together but not too much.
• Using a spoon or clean hands shape into small balls.You can cook them in a deep fat fryer for a crispier, more authentic falafel, or shallow fry them in a non-stick pan with the 2 tbsp of oil and else bake them in an air fryer or oven for a lower fat version. Cook the falafel till lightly brown on the outside. 
• Dice the tomato, slice the lettuce. For the tahini cream, mix the tahini along with the yoghurt with juice of 1/2 a lemon until it comes together into a lovely cream that can drizzle nicely.
• To bring together, on a wrap or tortilla add a generous spread of hummus, some tomato, lettuce, sauerkraut, the falafel, drizzle over the tahini cream and finish with some pickled red onions for a nice acidic pop! Wrap up and enjoy!
