  1. this was pretty good-had a different taste than the falafels that i am used to i think it was the wheat germ-but it was tasty i added cuim and used fresh garlic. thanks for yet another great recipe!!
     
  2. Really good, though I haven't tasted falafels before, so I wouldn't know how close this comes to the real thing. The only thing I changed was in using dried parsley instead of fresh. Next time I'll try some cumin and maybe some more pepper. I flattened the balls a little into pudgy little patties before baking because I wanted to use them in pita pockets. I had a great dinner with a pita pocked lined with hummus and one of these falafels resting inside! Thanks Lennie! :-)
     
  3. This was great! I added ground corriander, and extra pepper. I also baked these in a mini muffin tin with a light spray of cooking oil, and brushed the tops with a little olive oil. I now have a freezer bag full for quick lunch prep.
     
  4. Never had falafels before, but these seemed pretty good.
     
  5. This was quite good but didn't taste at all like falafel to me. Tasted much more like a chick pea burger.
