A healthy diet consists of antioxidant rich vegetables, quality carbohydrates with fibre, low fat protein and good fat. Sunflower seeds added to these patties boost fibre and unsaturated fat content. Served with wholemeal pitta, the combination of legume and grain make a complete protein with a low GI carbohydrate component. Collectively with the nutrient rich salad foods this dish is a delicious five star meal containing all the components of a healthy diet.
Place the seeds, chickpeas, onion, garlic, herbs and spices in a food processor and process until well combined. Shape into 8 small patties.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry for 3 - 4 minutes each side until crisp and lightly golden. Blot excess oil on absorbent paper.
Combine the dressing ingredients together and serve with the falafels on wholemeal mini pita bread, mini tomatoes and chopped shallots.
Note: Buy a low fat yoghurt with added live cultures to help fortify the immune system.
Makes 4 servings (serve = 2 patties)
