Delicious & Budget Friendly Falafel

This is one of my favourite recipes at the moment, I’m probably making it at least once every 2 weeks. Not only do the falafel taste delicious, they are budget friendly too at around £2.50 per serving (less if you are using leftover veg).

Here are the ingredients you will need along with rough costs of what I paid (for 2 people):

Falafel:

  • 1 tin of chickpeas (33p)
  • 1 tin of kidney beans (33p)
  • Frozen Peas (40p)
  • Plain flour to thicken (1/2 tbsp) (5p)
  • 1 small bunch coriander (50p)
  • 1 tsp all spice (5p)
  • rind of a lemon (5p)
  • salt & pepper (1p?)
  • tortilla wraps or pitta bread (80p)

Sides:

  • Houmous (£1)
  • 1 courgette (40p)
  • 1 aubergine (50p)
  • 1 pepper (33p)
  • any leftover veg

Pickled cabbage:

  • 1/4 red cabbage (15p)
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar (10p)
