Cauliflower and cheese are two ingredients that were made for each other, and with the addition of chickpeas and chia seeds we have created the most mouthwatering falafel balls. High in protein, essential fats and loaded with veggies – these are suitable for family meals or school lunchboxes. Serve them in a wrap, with brown rice, or eat them on their own. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
