A new year recipe to make all the family happy! Even big ‘fuss pot’ said they were delicious and was still talking about them when she went to bed, asking for me to put them in her lunch box! Either the new year has brought some new eating habits or this is a really good meal!

The pitta recipe is one by the fabulous Pig in the Kitchen.  I had no potato flour so used plain gluten free Doves Farm flour instead. I also just put the mix directly on the baking tray, sprinkled with a tiny bit of rice flour and flattened into shape before cooking, rather that what Her Pigness describes doing which was too time consuming for me and I was in a hurry (as usual)!!  I also didn’t let them ‘rest’ for 10 minutes so you could skip this step if you are short of time…the result was delicious but I will probably do it next time to see if they are even better!!

The falafels recipe comes from the BBC Goodfood site. I adapted it slightly to be child friendly and gluten free.  Click on the link above if you want to see the unadulterated version!

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g can chickpeas - rinsed and drained
  • Clove garlic - finely chopped
  • Half red onion - chopped
  • Handful of flat-leaf parsley or curly parsley - roughly chopped
  • Half tsp ground cumin
  • Half tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor or a hand-held food processor and blitz until fairly smooth.
  • Shape into patties (I made them quite small and flat rather than round but I am sure the shape and size doesn't really matter - just adjust the cooking time accordingly)
  • Place into a large pre-heated frying pan with the oil and cook for approx 5 minutes on each side or until they look golden.

Vicki Montague, the Free From Fairy

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (16) and 'Sunshine' (14). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
