Vickys Falafels, GF DF EF SF NF step by step

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender / food processor and pulse, scraping the sides down as needed until it forms a kind of dough.
2. Divide the dough into 8 and roll into balls then flatten them slightly.
3. Pour 3 inches of oil into a frying pan so that it would come halfway up the falafels but don't put them in yet.
4. Heat the oil on a medium heat. Test that it's hot enough by dropping in a small piece of falafel dough. If it sinks the oil isn't hot enough. It should sizzle then float if it's the right temperature, around 190C / 375F.
5. Place the falafels carefully 4 at a time in the hot oil and fry until browned, then turn and brown the other side. Around 3 – 5 minutes each side.
6. Drain on kitchen paper before serving with pitta bread, hummus, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
7. I have a couple of free-from hummus recipes posted if you're interested and 1 has no tahini / sesame seeds and I also have a gluten-free pitta posted.
