    Vegetable Cheese Falafel Recipe

     Hello! So here I am with an easy breezy falafel recipe ! Purists, please forgive me, but there are times when we all want a fast meal which is as healthy and nutritious as its fabulously scrumptious. Presenting my Vegetable Cheese Falafels!

    Falafel Recipe

    Now the truth is, as much as I love cooking/ baking, I don't really want to slave over the stove. Not if I can help it. Therefore the endeavor to make easy uncomplicated meals such as these vegetable cheese falafel recipe. It helps that they are so popular with the family that they'll happily chow them down for lunch the next day as well.

    I like to keep a box of cooked chickpeas in my freezer. And that is really your best friend! You can make any meal substantial by just adding a couple of handfuls of these - salads, soups, sandwiches ( we need to talk about chickpeas sandwiches, someday), curries. Having these handy also means you can make falafel recipe at a moments notice. Well almost.

    Falafel Recipe

    You can use any vegetable combination you like. Any kind of cheese you enjoy. I used MOTHERDAIRY ' cheese cubes as I'm doing an exciting collaboration with them. The cheese just adds another element of oozy deliciousness. I'm not a fan overly cheesy dishes, but here, it adds a nice balance in taste and keeps the falafel recipe moist from inside.

    It's a great make-ahead recipe. Simply shape the falafel recipe and refrigerate them. Bake them or pan fry them whenever you're ready to eat. Served with whole wheat pita, hummus, and a little green salad, this is one wholesome meal fit for easy weeknight dinner and even entertaining. You can serve all of this as a DIY falafel station. What fun!

    • 1 tsp Coriander powder
    • Salt & Pepper to taste
    • 4-5 Cheese cubes, cut into quarters
