Every few months I’ll have falafel at a restaurant and enjoy it immensely.<\/p>\n

\"From<\/a>
Not my pic. I was too busy eating. \ud83d\ude0e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Each time I say to myself: “Self? We should make this sometime!”<\/p>\n

And then nothing happens.<\/p>\n

I even went to the store and bought a bag of dried chickpeas. Three years ago. Been walking by them in the pantry ever since, and just never got around to using them.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago there was some sort of fair at NatureTyme and I had falafel at the food truck, really liked it and said “This time I’m really<\/span> going to do it! And I did.<\/p>\n

It was awesome<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Way better than the food truck or the restaurant.<\/p>\n

So here it is. The falafel recipe ingredients list is mostly from Tori Avey<\/a>. The instructions are mine, based on what I did and what worked and what made things easier\/better.<\/p>\n
