It’s time to bring a little Middle-Eastern, savoury mix to your Valentine's week meal routine with this falafel in beetroot wrap recipe!
When it comes to wrap recipes, shawarma and burritos often get more attention, but falafel wraps deserve as much love, if not more. The original falafel wrap recipe uses a plain tortilla wrap, but here, beetroot puree is added to the dough to make a light red-hued wrap, keeping in line with the colour of love. You can also use grated beetroot instead of the puree, for a more textured wrap. Additionally, while this falafel recipe details steps to make homemade falafel, you can also use store-bought ones. You can also add a further twist to the dish by swapping chickpea hummus with rajma hummus (for a smoother dip) or beetroot hummus (for a vibrant-looking sauce). Try this to make use of leftover falafel mixture, as a complete meal for one, or even to share with a partner or friends during Valentine's Week.
