You’ve never seen falafel served like this! Take your favourite falafel mix and use it to whip us this moreish brunch or breakfast-for-dinner style meal. We’ve topped these herby falafel waffles with a poached egg, hummus and sweet tomatoes for the most delicious meal.
Ingredients
600g pre-made falafel mix
125g cherry tomatoes, quartered
Large handful of fresh mint
Large handful of fresh parsley
1 lemon
½ cup hummus
½ cup cucumber yoghurt or tzatziki
4 eggs, poached
Equipment needed: waffle maker
Method
Preheat your waffle iron. Once hot, brush with oil to grease, then spread a quarter of the falafel mixture onto the iron and cook until golden.
Repeat with the remaining falafel mixture, then set aside. Roughly chop half of the fresh herbs and combine with the cherry tomatoes, seasoning and the juice of half a lemon.
In a small bowl, combine the hummus with enough water to create a drizzling consistency.
Place one waffle on each plate, then top with the fresh tomatoes. Lay a poached egg on top, then add a dollop of cucumber yoghurt and drizzle with hummus.
Garnish with the remaining herbs and lemon, then serve and enjoy.
Top tip
To perfectly poach an egg, simply bring a saucepan of water to a boil with a generous splash of white vinegar. Swirl the water to create a vortex, then gently crack the eggs one at a time into the pot and allow to poach until cooked to your liking.
If you don’t have a waffle iron, simply pan-fry falafel in a drizzle of oil and serve as per the recipe.
