Easy Authentic Vegan Falafel with Tahini Sauce
Let’s talk falafel! If you’re a plant based enthusiast, I guarantee that you’ve had falafel at one time or another. While living in NYC, I’d have to say that I probably ate nearly 100 falafels at this one shop near the NYU campus. It was quick, easy, affordable, and so good!
If you’ve ever had a really good falafel, you know that they are not all created equal. A really good falafel isn’t dried out and packs tons of flavor. You’ll find various recipes online with each having various amounts of spices and herbs, but I promise you..
You have to go big with flavor and pack on the herbs and spices, and using dried chickpeas makes a world of a difference.
What’s great about this recipe? Everything! It can be quickly thrown together in a food processor (after you soak the chickpeas), if you don’t get to the recipe right away the soaked chickpeas or batter will be fine (mine were), it packs tons of herbs, doesn’t skimp on the spices, can easily be made in bulk, are packed with protein and fiber, have a fluffy texture, taste like authentic falafel, the sauce is seamless, you can throw on pita or a salad, you can pan fry if desired, and they are perfect for any season!
