Falafel Ensemble
"Mine and my girlfriend's favorite falafel. I own the food processor and she owns the frying wok, so we can only make this when we're together. This recipe was adapted from several other recipes and modified. It's still a work in progress- sometimes it seems too salty, sometimes not salty enough- so I will update and modify as needed."
