Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Pour a kettle of boiling water over baby spinach in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out any water – do this really well or your falafels will be too soft. Pulse in a food processor with drained chickpeas, feta, cumin and plain flour until just combined. Roll into tbsp-sized balls with well‑floured hands, then flatten into patties.

2. 2

   Fry in batches in vegetable oil for 2-3 mins each side, then leave to cool. Place on a baking tray, cover with cling film and freeze. To serve, defrost in the fridge overnight and cook at 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 for 5-10 mins. Serve with tzatziki.
