Falafel!

So Lisa wanted to be the one to start the "chickpea party," as she called it, but we were beaten to the chase by Kim. No big surprise there, but we did make these Wednesday, I just haven't gotten around to posting until now. Anyway, we've made many a falafel dinner from out of a box, but we've never tried to make them from scratch. That's what we did this time, using a recipe from Joanna Farrow's 30 Minute Vegetarian. It is definitely worth the trouble to make falafel yourself, as it turns out, but the pan frying made the first batch fall apart a bit. Still, it was extremely good whether in pita as a sandwich (cukes, tomatoes, and ranch dressing), or on pita as a "falafel pizza" (guess who had hers that way...). Oh yeah, there was also Mediterranean curry couscous on the side. Yum!
