Falafel What?

Homemade Falafel with Tahini Sauce

My first experience with falafel was at a food truck, it was good but definitely didn't compare to this recipe.  Falafel is a chickpea patty that's lightly fried in oil and tahini is a sesame paste mixed with cool cucumber as a sauce.  Even though it's meatless, my husband will agree, it's a delicious combination! As always, fresh herbs are a must and you can always substitute peanut butter for the tahini paste; it works great and is half the price.  Try a meatless Monday once in a while!

About Little Murph

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
