Falafel (3+4)
on
Falafel comes from Persian cuisine which is one of my favorites. Falafel is usually deep fried but this recipe is a baked version of it. You can have falafel either as a main meal or just as an appetizer.
Most commonly it is served in pita bread with vegetables and tahini sauce. It is also great in combination with some light vegetable salad and together with hummus it creates a perfect combination which you will fall in love with.
