Who said Falafel have to be balls? This is a crispy, crunchy twist that’s full of flavour!
Ingredients:
- 1 Artisan Grains Beetroot & Chilli Falafel Mix
- 170ml of Cold Water
- 2 tbsp of Rapeseed Oil
- 1/2 bag of Baby Leaf Salad

Method:
- Heat a grill to a medium high heat
- Brush the corn and onion with oil and season to taste
- Grill, turning occasionally until slightly charred, about 10 minutes
- Transfer to a chopping board, cut the corn off the cob and roughly chop the onion into slices
- In a large bowl, combine the jalapeños, garlic, salt & pepper
- Add the corn, onion, lime juice and coriander, toss to combine
- Add the cold water to the Falafel mix, combine well and let sit for 5 minutes
