SPICY FALAFEL WITH CARROTS (vegan)
Falafels, quite a known dish in the plant-based cuisine, it’s delicious in so many ways. And for me the great thing about Falafels is that there are so many different ways you can make them.
The Spicy Falafels with Carrots are soft “meatballs” flavoured with curry, ginger and chilli cooked in the oven until brown. They are soft, tasty and light, and once you have one, you just can’t stop eating them, so we suggest to prepare them in abundance.
These delicious little patties are quite spicy, and is lovely with any type of hummus. I, personally, like a bit of variety in my food, so I opted for a trio of hummus and a colourful fresh side salad. Although we are January, and it’s winter here in the south of Spain, the weather was beautiful mild 18ºC in the shadow, so a kind of salad option was the ideal food for me today.
I served these Falafels warm, straight out of the oven, but they are lovely cold as well. So don’t throw them away, and don’t invite too many people as they will all disappear without you noticing.
