Black Bean & Lentil Falafels

I made these the other day and served with Spaghetti and tomato sauce, they were so tasty, the following day I had them in a salad, and also snacked on a couple. I put the rest in the freezer they are so versatile. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. They are quick and easy to make as you’ll find out, another great idea was to serve these as a starter with a creamy hummus dip.

The tomato sauce can be used as a pasta sauce or you can use it to drizzle over the falafels top with vegan cheese pop under the grill for 2-3 mins and serve in ramekins as a starter.
