Love falafel, its a great veggie meal thats uber cheap but tastes like a treat, where you don’t miss meat at all. I think traditionally though, its made with pre soaked but uncooked chickpeas? Whereas the tinned chickpeas are pre cooked. Mark Bittman waxes lyrical about it here: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9401E7D81F30F937A35757C0A9619C8B63
Mmmmh, falafels. Thanks for this recipe. You can get harissa paste in the ethnic shops in town (Camden street has loads)
Sarah, you’re right, it’s traditionally made with soaked chickpeas, but I’ve made them with tinned ones (very well drained) and it worked
I had the falafel wrap from the guys on the canal at Baggot Street – fabulous!! A fiver for a really nice and different lunch. Not sure it was ‘light’ but certainly very tasty and gives you a good idea on what to put in it…

I made this again this evening with soaked but uncooked chickpeas and it was great – so easy, quick and tasty.
