Butternut squash falafel.



I just made these to bring into college. It’s been a while since I’ve cooked due to lack of time. They are so yum and easy to make so here is how.

Half a medium sizes Butter nut squash- peeled and cut into small chunks

Sweet chilli sauce and Honey

400g can chick peas

3 spring onions chopped up

100g bread crumbs

25g plain flour

1 egg yolk

4 cloves of garlic diced

2 teaspoons of cumin/chilli powder/ground corriander

salt and pepper

juice of 1 lemon

handfull of cashews (Optional though)

1. Cut the Butternut squash into chunks and cover with olive oil, a small bit of honey and sweet chilli sauce and salt and pepper and bake under soft.

2. When finished put the butter nut squash into a food processor and blitz and then transfer into a big bowl.

3. Put the drained chick peas, spring onion,Lemon juice, cashews, garlic and spices into the food processor and blitz until it’s a paste. Then transfer to the bowl.

4. Add the flour, breadcrumbs and egg to the bowl and mix together until a wet paste has formed.

5. Get a baking dish and put a little bit of oil on the base. Shape the mixture into little balls and place on the dish.

5. Bake for around 30 mins on a high heat. I turned them around half way through so they were crispy on both sides!

Goodlife food range


While down in Cork I took a stroll into the Quay co-op health food store in Carrigaline.

They had the biggest range of vegetarian food I've seen in a health food store, It was great! I wish there was a place near me like that. So many different brands of falafels, tofu and vegetarian fridgerated products. There was also a load of fresh vegetables and free leaflets with whole food recipes which I picked up.

Anyway, I went for 'Good Life-Fruity Falafel Quarterpounders with Cumin, Corriander and Chilli'. I got a pack of 4 for around 3 euro! They were extremely tasty and I had two. I haven't seen these being stocked up in Dublin anywhere and the website doesn't say either.
