One of my favourite snacks or quick lunch fixes is falafels, this is funny as until I went vegan my lip curled at the thought of them. Anything containing chickpeas to me sounded horrendous. A year later I am now a complete convert, and they have become a huge part of my diet.

For me, these flavour packed crispy nuggets wrapped in a warm pitta blanket, with a crisp and lashing of humus is food heaven. Other times I like them freshly cooked and drizzled with some Tahini dressing, accompanied by a crunchy salad and greens.

I do prefer my falafels cooked from dried chickpeas but there are times when the need is there but the freezer is bare. This is where tinned chickpeas are great. We don’t always have 12 hours to soak the dry version or even remember…
