Description

Ingredients

• 3 large green collard leaves
• 1 17 oz. / 480g can chickpeas
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• juice from ½ lime
• ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons besan/chickpea flour
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

• Wash the green collard leaves and remove the stems, roll it up and blitz it in the food processor until fine.
• Drain the chickpeas (save the water for some Aquafaba magic, if you like) and add them to the food processor and blitz until broken up.
• Transfer the mixture into a large bowl, add in the salt, garlic powder, lime juice and give it a good mix.
• Add in the chickpea flour into the mix until you can form little patties (Ive added 2 tablespoons).
• Heat a large pan with the canola oil (the bottom should be coated) and add in the Falafel once the oil is hot. Let it pan-fry (on medium to high heat) for about 7 minutes on each side. They should be crispy on the outside and soft but not mushy on the inside.
