Method

• Wash chick peas and put into a food processor, add two cloves of garlic

• And the star of the show is harisa paste - a middle eastern chili paste - you can get it in any supermarket - this one has a lovely chili hum which is going to liven up the falafel

• Add flour and a little bit of salt for seasoning

• And we need to pulse this to a fine paste - it’s a beautiful burnt colour because of the harisa and it smells absolutely delicious

• Put mix in oil

• Carefully take them out of the oil and drain

Yoghurt dressing

• Take some yogurt with some dried mint - some salt and finally some lemon juice

• Take some green leaves, falafel and the lovely pomegranate which is such a contrast to the chili, the falafel and the lovely cooling yogurt

• A few sprigs of parsley and there you have it, my warm falafel salad perfect for those long balmy summer days
