    Chickpeas!
    I only had dried chickpeas in the cupboard so I used them and it still worked perfectly. Looking forward to making them with black-eyed beans and will be adding the recipe to our lunch options too! Thanks.

    I love these falafels, they are so delicious. I have made them several times now, they are great for healthy school lunches dipped in home made salsa or homous! Excellent recipe, thank you so much for posting !!

    Hi,

    Just wondering where you can buy black eyed beans? - having trouble finding them in supermarkets or healthfood shops.

    Thanks
