Heat up oil in a frying pan
Add onions and fry for 10 minutes or so, until soft and slightly caramelised
Meanwhile, either purée the chickpeas in a food processor or using a hand blender, or mash them up using a fork or a potato masher (depending on what kind of texture you prefer, and what equipment you have on hand!)
Add the spices, salt and pepper, coriander and chickpeas to the pan once onions are soft
Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring regularly until warmed through. Add a little splash of water so it's not too dry
Stuff lettuce cups with falafel and add other vegetables such as radishes, sweet red peppers, carrots or cherry tomatoes if you wish. Add sauces of choice - options in Recipe Notes
Devour immediately
