Home made Falafel | in my Red Kitchen

It’s been three years ago since I posted this home made falafel recipe on my Dutch blog. But a lot can happen in three years, and I sure learned how to take better pictures! πŸ˜‰

So it was definitely time to update the photos. Same camera, same recipe… but hours of photography lessons, some new equipment (an amazing daylight lamp!) and lots of experience later I present you with… this amazing vegetarian recipe!

Falafel is one of my favorite vegetarian fast food meals. It doesn’t take a lot of time or skills to make this from scratch, and it’s even better with home made pita bread and home made garlic sauce (dice up 2 cloves of garlic and mix it with yogurt and mayonnaise, add some parsley and you’re ready to go!).

A food processor might come in handy with making falafel πŸ˜‰ I bought this Hamilton Food ProcessorΒ over a year ago and I still love it. I can also tell it makes the smoothest pureed baby foods πŸ˜‰
