Ingredients
For the dressing
-
To make the falafels, purée the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, cumin and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Turn the mixture into a bowl, and beat in the egg, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes, or longer if more convenient.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
-
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 20 equal-size balls. Put the falafels on an oiled baking sheet, and flatten them slightly, then brush with a little oil. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the falafels over halfway through the cooking time.
-
To make the dressing, blend or process the mint, garlic and yogurt until smooth, turn into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
-
To serve, put the falafels on a serving platter, and spoon the dressing over the top. Serve hot.
