Beetroot Falafel Wrap
The kiwi love of beetroot is shared by the Lebanese, we traditionally use it in salads. In this recipe we put together two of our favourites in the simplest way possible!
Mixing blitzed beetroot into falafel mix is a fun way to add flavour and ring the changes with this familiar refrigerator staple. Wrap them in a pita bread with salad and a generous dollop of Tarator for a fast, delicious, and healthy evening meal.
Heat oven to 120C. Wrap Alamir Bakery Pita Bread in foil and warm in oven.
Blitz, or mash, the drained beetroot in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the Alamir Bakery Falafel Mix and the baking powder. mix well. Gradually add the water, if required. Only add one tablespoonful at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. The more water you add the softer your falafel mix will be.
Half fill a saucepan with cooking oil and turn it on until the oil is simmering lightly.
Using a tablespoon or a falafel patty maker, add scoops of falafel mixture into the simmering oil.
Cook 1/2 falafel mixture until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked remove from pan, place on a plate with a paper towel on it, and pop them in the oven while you cook the remaining falafels.
When all falafels are ready, fill warmed Alamir Bakery Pita Bread with a green salad, top with falafels, and generously dress with Alamir Bakery Tarator!
