Kate Doran's pistachio falafel recipe is a delightful twist on a classic, with the pistachios adding a glorious nuttiness. Kate serves the dish with a simple coleslaw, but feel free to mix up your choice of toppings and sides.
Line a tray with baking parchment and blitz the pistachios to a fine powder in a food processor. Drain the chickpeas and gradually blitz into the pistachio mixture until the mixture reaches a fine crumb texture. Add the remaining ingredients and blitz until combined
Shape the mixture into 24 balls and place on the prepared tray. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 1 hour, until firm
