Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel-2

Hi, today I am sharing a quick and easy post of Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel.

Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel-3

These may not look the best but they sure do taste fantastic.  They can be served as a main meal of made smaller and eaten as a snack or started.

I said that these Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel would serve 4 people as a main meal however the you can make them bigger or smaller, mine were roughly about 6cm x 1cm.

They are really easy to make and you could even made the Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel mixture ahead of time.  If you think that your mixture looks really runny or it is not holding together enough you can add a bit more flour but be careful not to add too much.  You can cook one and test it first to see if it holds together.

I hope the rest of your week goes well, enjoy xx

These Chickpea and Green Pea Falafel were inspired and adapted from the kitchn.
