Falafel

Monday I made falafel. I have to admit that it started out as a packaged mix from Fantastic foods but I added a few spices to give it a kick. I baked it in the oven rather than frying to cut back on the fats. Unfortunately this also dried it out considerably. So rather than fling my hockey puck like patties across the dining room I improvised.


Enter the Sour Supreme mixed with diced cucumber, dill and garlic. It was cool, tangy and a perfect accompaniment to the patties. I plan on enjoying these delish leftovers wrapped up in pita or tortillas for the week. Yum yum.

Thank you for this! I love falafel, but I am terrible at frying things. I have heard that you can grease the baking pan with olive oil and drizzle the tops with oil too when you bake them. I need to try this again. We used to have a fabulous Lebanese deli nearby, but now there is no place to buy good falafel, so I need to make it myself.
