I know that there are a few other Falafel recipes. This one is a wee bit different. I have made it and love it (but then I like Doritos and Cottage Cheese). A freind tells me that Falafel is a Lebonese dish. This is his family recipe. Read more There is a lot of set time. But I found that is was worth it. Some on else please let me know what you think.
