Baked Four Seed Turmeric Falafel

Baked Four Seed Turmeric Falafel

As part of our collaboration with Monika Coghlan of Pepperazi.ie, we decided to incorporate our
Four Seed Mix into a dinnertime recipe of falafels!

Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern food which is getting more and more popular in Europe.
These deep-fried balls made from mashed chickpeas are a great alternative to meatballs. Vegan
and gluten-free. High in protein and fibre.

Tumeric-Falafel-seeds
In this recipe, Monika has used turmeric which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
benefits. The four seeds (chia, sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds) are rich in many vitamins and
minerals, which can contribute to a healthy nervous system. Additionally, instead of deep-frying the
falafel balls, they have been baked to reduce the fat content.
These super tasty chickpea balls are a great snack and can be eaten hot or cold. They are
traditionally served in a pita bread with salad but feel free to experiment and try them with cous
cous, rice or even in a burger bun. This recipe makes 12 falafels.
