In a blender, blitz the lentils with 2 peeled garlic cloves, 1 spring onion, 1 handful of fresh spinach, fresh herbs (coriander, parsley, mint), a pinch of cumin, the juice and zest of 1 lemon, salt and pepper.
Blitz until chunky.

Using a spoon, shape your falafels. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, and fry the falafels until golden brown on both sides.
