We’ve swapped out chickpeas for edamame in this twist on typical falafel. Served with a homemade sweet and sour papaya chutney and creamy yogurt, this is a full meal in a wrap. For a kick of heat, try a quick spicy tahini sauce instead of yogurt – simply whiz up tahini paste, water, lemon zest and juice, and a red chile in a food processor and you’ve got another element to add to these wraps!

Soak beans overnight. Drain, rinse well and boil with fresh water until soft throughout.
