Serves 2 - 4
Superfood salad with homemade sweet potato falafels
1 pack of Florette Superfood salad
½ cup mixed olives
½ cup sun blush tomatoes
2 tbsp pinenuts
For the falafels (makes around 18 falafels)
1 large sweet potato scrubbed and cut into inch cubes
1 can organic chickpeas
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chilli flakes
Salt and pepper
3 cloves garlic sliced
2 tbsp gram flour
Handful coriander and mint leaves roughly chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
To make the falafals;
1.Boil the sweet potato for 10 -15 minutes until soft. Drain and allow to cool.2.Add all the ingredients to a food processor (apart from the gram flour) and blitz and smooth. Alternatively blend with a hand blender if you want a coarser texture.
3.Add in the gram flour and stir to combine. Allow to stand for 30 minutes or so to firm up.
4.Sprinkle some gram flour onto a chopping board and roll each ball in the flour ( the mix will be quite wet so you will need to add more flour for rolling ever so often (will make approx. 16 -18 falafels).
5.Place the balls on a oiled baking tray and bake for 40 minutes at gas mark 6.
6. Serve with the olives, tomatoes and lots of salad. Sprinkle with pine nuts and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.
