Uber Healthy Falafel: serves 4 (20 mins prep, 15 - 30 mins cooking)

these falafels are the best healthiest i've found...

Ingredients
3 tbspn olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 can green lentils, drained and rinsed
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon tahini paste
[optional - 100g gruyere cheese]

Method
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and cook the chopped onion over a low-medium heat until soft but not coloured.
Add the garlic, ground cumin and cayenne for another 30 seconds or so.

Tip the chickpeas and lentils into a food processor (or use a hand blender) to blend them until coarse. Add the contents of the frying pan (onion mix), the tahini, egg and the parsley and blend again until nearly smooth.
(Add the cheese here if you're using it and stir well)

then form the mixture into patties,  and either pan fry or bake in the oven at 180 C for 25 - 30 mins.
