Method

If using homemade falafel, start with making those beforehand.

Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly.

Add chickpeas, parsley, coriander, mint, green onions, garlic, chickpea flour, cumin, baking powder, Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Cubes and water to a food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until finely combined but still textured.

With wet hands, shape the mixture into balls (12–16 falafel balls).

Place the falafel balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to set.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry falafel balls in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Chop lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. If making homemade hummus, prepare it now.

In a bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, salt, and 2 tbsp cold water. Whisk until smooth. Add more water if needed for a drizzling consistency.

Place a wrap on parchment paper. Spread hummus along the centre. Add a layer of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Top with 4 falafel balls and Britannia The Laughing Cow Cheese Cubes halves.

Drizzle with tahini dressing, then roll up the wrap tightly like a burrito. Wrap with parchment paper for easy handling.
