Ffffffffalafel!, Satisifies that carnivorous craving but without the meat! It doesn’t really get much better than this, folks! Clipped out of our local newspaper, this recipe is from my favorite restaurant in town **NOTE** There are a few problems with this recipe that I need to address before it can be prepared successfully Until that time I would strongly suggest not preparing this Sorry for the inconvenience!11-28-05 cg, As written, this just physically did not work for me – with no binding ingredient like breadcrumbs the falafel just fell to pieces After adding some flour (was out of breadcrumbs), more salt and some chilli powder for some flavour these did turn out nicely and DH really enjoyed them I couldn’t taste the sumak at all which was a pity as it’s such a great flavour Sorry to give a low rating but they just weren’t so good as per the recipe for my taste and I’m a huge falafel fan! On the bright side the tahini sauce was very nice and I’ll make that again for sure!, Satisifies that carnivorous craving but without the meat! It doesn’t really get much better than this, folks!
