Falafel & Hummus Bagel




In a lunch rut?

You have to try this bagel!

A toasted sesame seed bagel, spread with tangy mango chutney, then given a generous layer of spicy falafel, topped with sweet, crunchy grated carrot and finished off with a generous dollop or two of creamy homemade hummus.

This is a supreme sandwich! The flavours and textures are perfect and you may groan as you eat it, much to the amusement of your colleagues.

If you haven't tried homemade hummus, try my recipe for lemon & coriander hummus. It is so easy & quick to make and tastes much better than shop bought. You can also leave out the coriander and just add a squeeze of lemon for a more traditional hummus. My husband isn't keen on garlic, so when I make it for him, I just add about a quarter of a clove.

Yes, he is a wuss!

  1. great idea for a sandwich - I bought hummus today (partly because Sylvia rejected my home made one) and it was pretty dire - but I love some decent hummus on a sandwich

    2. Oh yes, me too, I love hummus in a sandwich, although always shop bought I haven't been brave enough to make my own.

    3. It's so easy to make if you have a food processor Sharon. Just throw everything in and whizz. You can make it as garlicky or spicy as you like.

  7. Ooooooooooooooooooh that really does sound good! I'm only just getting into bagels really - I'm not much of a sandwhich eater you see. But this is making my mouth water :) hummus and falafel is always a winning combo!

    1. It's a great combo and I am just getting into them too. I used to eat them with philadelphia, but that was years ago.

  8. Sounds like my kind of sandwich. I think it would taste great with tzatziki instead of hummus too.

  9. I like falafel but I never tried to combine with mango chutney. I like to use bagel as alternative to pita bread...uhm this goes on my lunch ideas list.

    1. The mango chutney works really well with the spicy falafel and is a nice contrast to the hummus.
