falafel recipe recommendations please

[Gatekeeper]

just tried a BBC recipe and it was as dull as dishwatter as well as being dry and crumbly

which is your favourite please?

You need to follow an Egyptian recipe and use broad beans instead of chick peas. Much nicer imo. I will try and post the recipe later when I get home.

thank you

I know I always lke to this blog... but her stuff is so good!

Not your traditional falafal but VERY tasty.

pinkmagic1 do you use dried or fresh broad beans?

I tried this one recently, it was very good

Ooh I like the addition of sweet potato there. I usually make them with chickpeas and butter beans, but they need lots of seasoning and a good pinch of chilli flakes to pep them up.

The sweet potato would definitely add a new dimension. I serve them with a tangy soured cream sprinkled with paprika.

What's this about broad beans?

You use dried , but soak beforehand, whois.

just eaten a plateful of the dull bbc ones and need charcoal tablets now. Suffering and they weren't even nice!

thanks for other recipes

They sound delicious 😋. I have sweet potatoes and cashews so will def give this a go

Thanks pinkmagic1 - I like the sound of that. Will have to try.

I have made this recipe loads of times, it's easy as long as you remember to soak the chickpeas the night before. I love that there is so much herb in it so not a dry falafel.

i love the ottolenghi recipe from his book, honestly never fails
