    Walnut Falafel Sliders With Pickled Beet and Lemon Mayo [Vegan]

    These walnut and borlotti falafel sliders are on a disc of beetroot and slathered with lemon and garlic vegan mayo. I have used the term falafel loosely because these do not contain chickpeas, (or any other traditional falafel ingredients), but they are made of beans and they are round!

    • 1 can borlotti (cranberry) beans
    • 3 ounces walnuts (removed from shells)

    How to Prepare Walnut Falafel Sliders With Pickled Beet and Lemon Mayo [Vegan]

    1. In a blender add the beans and blitz until a fine crumb texture then add the walnuts and roughly chopped onion and blitz again to break everything down. Stop before it’s a paste as you don’t want it too wet.
    2. Tip into a large bowl then grate the carrot into the bowl with the flour, garlic, thyme and seasoning. Mix thoroughly with your hands really squishing it together to help it bind together. I found mine came together fine as the flour acts as a good binding agent but if you feel it is too dry then add a splash of water.
    3. Shape into balls and fry in some shallow olive oil until golden brown and hot throughout.
    4. To make the mayo, I simply used shop bought vegan mayo and squeezed in some lemon huice (and lemon zest if you want) and then I grated in some garlic. Mix it well and you have a gorgeous garlic and lemon mayo.
    5. To assemble thinly slice some crusty baguette and spread with the mayo, top with a slice of cooked/ pickled beet and place a falafel on top!
