I have been looking for ways to introduce more types of ethnic foods into my kids' diets, and this recipe was a winner. It took quite a bit of time, but the whole family loved it. I think it will become a staple in my home.

this is the best recipe that i have found so far. It's quick and easy. I put the kids down for an afternoon nap and within 1 hour i had made the falafel mix and had cooked it, so when the kids woke up they could it them.

In a word....yum! I didn''t fully read the amount of time it took. With the kidss bed time looming, I didn''t wait for the hour after smashing the beans, then for the 1/2 hour after forming the patties. They turned out great. Not for a dinner after a full day at work, but a very yummy dinner!
