Ingredients
- 2 green onions
- 200 g drained chickpeas from the can
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped up
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped up
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 garlic cloves chopped up
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the falafel — apart from the baking powder, flour, and breadcrumbs — into a bowl and puree them until you have a nice even mixture. Now you can mix in the baking powder, flour, and breadcrumbs.
- Place a large tablespoon of falafel mix between two sheets of food wrap and press it flat using your hands.
- Boil the eggs for five and a half minutes. Once done, peel the eggs and turn them in the flour.
- Place an egg on the flattened-out falafel mix and use the food wrap to enclose it in the mixture, making sure there is no egg showing. Repeat this for the other two eggs.
- To finish, fry the eggs in oil.
