Homemade healthy falafel & hummus

New vegetable: Golden Beetroot, high in fibre, folic acid, vitamins and minerals, great for brightening up salads for making falafels!

Ingredients:

For the falafels:

5 small golden beetroots, peeled and chopped into chunks.

1 jar of chickpeas, drained.

2 tablespoons of sprouted green gram flour.

1 garlic clove.

Pinch of salt.

For the hummus:

1 jar or can of cannellini beans, drained.

1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.

2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

1 clove of garlic.

Pinch of salt.

Directions:

For the falafels:

Bake the golden beetroot chunks in a little coconut oil for 30 minutes (or until soft), allow to cool.

Once cool add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined and like a soft dough.

Line a baking tray with baking paper, and pre-heat the over to 200 degrees.

Spoon out falafels into small balls (size of golf balls) and lay out onto the baking tray, press down gently to flatten a little.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

For the hummus:

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.

Serve with your favourite salad leaves, I’ve used chopped and sautéed black Tuscan kale.
