Falafel — Middle Eastern recipe
Falafel, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Falafel

Dried chickpeas soaked overnight and ground raw with herbs, onion and garlic, then fried. The chickpeas are never cooked before they go in the oil — that one rule is the entire difference between falafel and a mushy fritter, and no other change to the recipe matters half as much.
