For the uninitiated, falafel is a simple fritter of ground chickpeas, filled with garlic and herbs and fried into a glorious revelation of inexpensive, filling food. We typically eat falafel wrapped in a pita and topped with the usual suspects of cucumber-yogurt sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and sometimes olives, but when the falafel itself is this good, you’ll be tempted to eat it straight-up with just a dip of yogurt.
While the work of classic falafel — soaking and grinding your own chickpeas and then frying the fritters in hot oil — sound like arduous tasks, with a few modifications our version of homemade falafel can be pulled together on even the busiest weeknights without a fuss.
