Cucumbers are still in season, and that makes me think of Tzatziki Sauce. And tatziki sauce makes me think of the Middle Eastern street food, falafel.  So I’m thinking it’s time to make some of both. It’s like having fried chicken, only better! What a great meal to share with dinner guests! Mix the falafel ingredients early in the day as the flafel dough needs to chill for 2 hours before cooking.


You will need to have soaked 2-1/2 C. dry chickpeas (garbanzo beans) overnight to make this meal today. (Canned beans don’t work here…too much moisture.)
