my falafel adventure.

so i tried making falafel, the other day. this was how it came out (apologies for the crappy resolution on my camera phone; it was one of the pioneers).

and it just goes to show you: never trust entirely the directions. the box said equal parts falafel mix and water ..

(so yes, i used a mix; i don't dare try to blend my own mixture of chickpeas and spices, yet!)

.. and the outcome of the directions was some goopy mess. not daring the mix any further, i cheated by soaking some couscous in boiling water and stirring it into the deficient falafel mixture.

regardless of the wisdom of such a decision, the outcome of the frying was forgetable, but not bad. you can see that i was unable to avoid carbon.

and to dress it up a bit, i sliced a roma tomato and served the falafel atop the remaining couscous. it was a little bland, but not bad.
