Falafel is a middle eastern street food made with ground chickpeas.
Its a vegetarian substitue for meat and can be eaten as an appetizer or as a sandwhich using pita bread with lettuce, tomamtoes, onions and Tahini sauce (made from sesame seeds) or even as a Veggie burger.
Here I have made Falafel and a little Tahini sauce.
Its crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside and taste real good when served hot!
Give it a try, you'll see why its a Midlle eastern favorite!
