favorite falafels with tahini dressing


Let’s see if we can breathe some life back into this old blog! Why not start with one of my all-time favorite recipes: Falafel. I have a pile of these in my freezer at all times. Two pan-fried falafels over a hefty bed of lettuce make for a filling, protein-filled vegetarian meal.



There are a million falafel recipes out there, but what I wanted out of mine was a very fresh, green interior to mirror some miniature falafels I had in NYC many years ago. After playing around with a few recipes, I landed on these. Fresh green herby interiors, a punch of salt, with a hint of cumin and kick of red pepper.
