baked chard falafel wraps

Just like traditional falafels, except these are full of extra goodness and wrapped in greens.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chickpea flour

• 1/4 cup quick oats

• 1/4 cup corn flour

• 1/3 cup quinoa flakes

• 2 tbsp. dried tomatoes (finely chopped)

• 1 onion finely chopped

• 1-2 cloves of garlic minced

• 1/2 tsp. coriander powder

• 1 tsp. cumin powder

• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

• 1/2 tsp. paprika powder

• 1 tsp. sea salt

• 1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups hot water

• large bunch of fresh chard

• optional 1 inch piece of fresh turmeric grated and 1/4 tsp. cayenne powder

Method

1. Gently rinse the chard, then cut off the hard stems using a knife or scissors.

2. Combine all the ingredients except for the water and chard in a large mixing bowl. Add the hot water and mix well. Let the mixture soak for 5 minutes.

3. Wrap 1-2 tbsp. of the falafel dough in the chard leaves. The dough makes 6-7 wraps.

4. Place the wraps in an oven safe dish and cover with a lid or foil.

5. Bake for 25 minutes with the lid, then remove lid and continue baking for another 5 minutes.

Enjoy plain, with salad or plant based yoghurt!
