Looking for a cheap but delicious way to stretch the contents of the store cupboards until pay day (<3), we thought we'd have a go at bunging together some falafel. Chick peas, onion, a little flour, some spices. No problem.
However..... at the last minute we realised we didn't have any onions left (it being the day before market) but we decided to plunge ahead anyway. Oops.
The first balls we tried in the deep fryer and they disintegrated completely. We then flattened the balls and tried them in a frying pan. Better, but not great.
It would seem that onions are essential for binding the balls! We will be retrying tonight, having bought some onions. Despite their dubious texture, they tasted great and will be even better, I am sure, with onions.
Now to find a 'volunteer' to clean the goop out of the fryer.........
