Falafel Sausage Rolls Recipe

Falafel mixture – This recipe features the key elements of classic falafel plus a few extra ingredients to keep the rolls moist. The extras include egg and fresh bread crumbs. Contrary to the classic recipe with dried chickpeas, I have used canned chickpeas to make the process quicker and easier.

To make the falafel filling, all you need to do is grind all the ingredients like chickpeas, parsley, coriander (cilantro) leaves, mint leaves, garlic, onions, spices, green chilies, egg, and bread with a dash of salt and pepper. The mixture will be slightly coarse and is perfect for the rolls.

Make falafel sausage rolls – Apart from the falafel mixture, one of the key ingredients of this recipe is puff pastry sheets. Both homemade and store bought pastry sheets are amazing in this recipe. The prepping process is very similar to regular sausage rolls. Cut the pastry sheets into halves and arrange falafel mixture on one side of the sheet. Fold over, cut, and bake.
