About

Falafel can often disappoint in a restaurant (much like crab cakes), but did you know that these crispy nuggets are especially delicious when you make them at home? All you have to do is blend up some canned chickpeas with other flavorful things, fry them up quickly, tuck them into pita bread, and eat them immediately. Now that I can do.
