Chickpea and Coriander Falafel (Ve)
It’s thought that falafel originated in Egypt as Coptic Christians looked for a hearty replacement for meat. To this day it's loved by many all over the world!
Eat as a wonderful snack, a tasty lunch or as part of a dinner. We particularly love falafel in a warm wrap or wholemeal pitta bread alongside hummus.
