What's the BEST Falafel Recipe?

Falafels are a Middle Eastern specialty consisting of small, fried croquettes or balls made from chickpeas. Spices, onions, and parsley. They are commonly served as an appetizer or inside pita bread with garlic or tahini sauce. The best part about falafel is that they are simple to make.

Falafel ingredients and flavors will differ depending on what country you are in and who is making it. For example, in Egypt, fava beans are used instead of chickpeas. However, there are also Governorates in Lebanon that use a combination of both garbanzo beans and fava beans. I loved the flavors for this recipe using both beans, but you can use just 1 or the other if that is all you have access to.
