Which cuisine do you not ever get tired of? Mine is definitely Mediterranean. Back in college, there was a Mediterranean restaurant in our dining hall and I went every single day. One of the workers had an official goodbye for me when I graduated! I was their most loyal customer!! All that is to say- I know a good falafel from a bad one. I've tried plenty of mushy, bland falafels. The best falafels are full of flavor and crispy!


This falafel recipe works best with a food processor, but a high speed blender will also work. All the effort is really in the waiting for these delicious falafels to be done!

    can I use parsley in place of the cilantro

      I have in the past and it worked out. And be sure to make the balls small, like slightly smaller than a golf ball, so they hold shape and then I made mine small and flattened into a patty. Also they need longer than an hour to set up in the fridge.
