Tarator Sauce with Stuffed Falafels is a flavourful Middle Eastern–inspired dish that’s both comforting and indulgent. Crispy falafel rounds made from chickpeas, herbs, and warm spices hide a gooey cheese centre, adding a delicious surprise with every bite. Shallow-fried to golden perfection, they are paired with a creamy tarator sauce made from tahini, garlic, and lemon juice for a rich, tangy finish. Served hot and generously drizzled with the sauce, this dish works beautifully as a party appetiser, mezze platter addition, or satisfying vegetarian snack.

In a blender, grind together the chickpeas, jalapenos, parsley, spice powders, chickpea flour and lemon juice, until the mixture is able to hold its shape when pressed together.
Shape into rounds, place a cube of cheese inside, roll again until the cheese is fully covered, and shallow fry until golden brown on all sides.
