Introducing Falafel Fusion Stotties

Sudanese-style falafel with a Shieldfield twist!

Prepared for you by Kaltouma, a Dwellbeing Community Chef

Kaltouma, originally from Sudan, has lived in Shieldfield with her family for many years. She learned how to cook falafel from her mam who ran a small restaurant in Medina. Her recipe is packed with bold North African spices. Kaltouma cooks falafel regularly at Shieldfield’s Forum Cafe for Big River Bakery “home of the stottie”. 

Did you know, the name for falafel in Sudanese is ta’mia? 

As a Dwellbeing Community Chef, Kaltouma also runs cooking workshops, provides catering, and hosts free community meals in Shieldfield. 

£1.04 from each Falafel Fusion Stottie sold at Big River Bakery goes straight back into the Dwellbeing Community Chefs pot to fund resident-led cooking activities which build skills, knowledge, confidence and good relationships in our neighbourhood. With each tasty, plant-powered bite, you are supporting a ‘solidarity economy’ through which we meet needs in our Shieldfield community. 

Look out for more opportunities to sample Falafel Fusion coming soon.

Thank you!
