Calories 30kcal

Ingredients

  • 150 g chickpeas, soaked all night
  • 150 g cauliflower
  • 150 g broccoli
  • 1 bundle fresh parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds ground
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • A pinch of chili
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Coconut oil or ghee for frying

Yoghurt dressing

  • 250 ml neutral yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonaise
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • ½ small red onion
  • 1 bundle fresh parsley, coriander etc.
  • Juice from 1/2 lime
  • 1 tsp honey or coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Cabbage & Apple slaw

  • 1 pointy cabbage
  • 2 apples
  • 1 portion yoghurt dressing

To serve

  • Romaine  salade  or cabbage leaves
  • Carrot or beets, sliced on a mandolin or carrot peeler
  • Yoghurt dressing

Instructions

  • Boil cauliflower and broccoli until al dente, approx 5-10 min. In a food processor combine all of the ingredients for the falafels until all of it is combined. It is okay that the texture is a little bit chunky.
  • Use a spoon and your palm to shape small balls and place them in a medium hot frying pan with plenty of coconut oil. Fry the falafels on all sides, and add a little more oil as it gets soaked (oh how we love coconut oil, right).
  • In a blender combine all the  ingredients for the  dressing and blend until smooth. Season to taste (make a double portion if you are making the slaw as well).
  • Use a sharp knife to finely slice the cabbage. Cut the apples into small cubes. Combine cabbage, apples and dressing in a large bowl.
  • Serve the wraps with slaw, carrot strips, falafels and extra dressing. Or simple serve a large portion of slaw together with warm falafels – endless possibilities here folks!

Notes

If your a vegan  substitute the yoghurt in the dressing with 1/2 cup raw soaked cashews blended with 1/2 – 3/4 cup water.
