I've decided to make something new at least once a week that looks a bit intimidating but possibly make able at my small home kitchen. I'm curious to see how easy or difficult the restaurant and street foods I love to chow down on are to make at home. My first adventure with this was the falafle. I've really only tried a couple of them at street carts in our amazing farmers markets but I thought how hard would it be to mash up some beans and fry them?
Lets just say the recipes I found were a little vauge so I kinda winged it adding here and taking there. I came out with a deliciously seasoned, crispy mouthful that I think could compete with any "pro." I also made my own Cucumber-Yogurt sauce that completely complimented the hot, spicy and crispy falafle. Needless to say that making everything from scratch, including the flat bread, was completely rewarding and satisfied my cooking itch for the day. I froze the leftover Falafle mix so hopefully they will be just as good when I cook them up in the future.
