Fabulous Falafels
Falafel balls are great as a snack, on their own or with hummus or tzatziki, add them to a snack platter, or pop them in a wrap or pita bread like we did.
You will need a blender or food processor for this recipe
If you don’t have one, you can also use a potato masher. For this option, make sure your ingredients are finely chopped and use the masher to mush everything together, when instructions suggest using a food processor.

- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 2 x cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Instructions
