Falafel

0.0

(3)

As we travel through Israel and taste an enormous amount of falafel, I feel the need to give you all recipe on falafel based on some of the best balls I've had in my life. In order to achieve the sexiest falafel balls, will need to locate the best tiny chickpeas you can. With that being said, Iv teamed up with @arrowheadmills to make my loved falafel recipe, their chickpeas are 🙌🏻🔥. Nothing like green, crispy, warm falafel balls coming together inside a beautiful homemade pita pocket showered with freshly chopped salad, and finished with schug and smooth tahini. What else do you need in life?? Check out my story highlights on Instagram to learn how I build the ultimate falafel pita - one like the way they make it at the best spots in Israel.
