    I created a similar recipe when living in Costa Rica. I did everything by hand, meaning no food processor. And they came out delicious. Of course it takes more time....for instances all I had was a fork to mash the chickpeas and a serrated steak knife to chop the onions and parsley. So if you have the will, you can always, for the most part, figure out a way around modern appliances. Use your ingenuity and you will be surprised at the results.
    Thank you food wishes for another great video and recipe. I have become addicted to your videos and watch at least one a day.

    This freezes well. I always make a big batch and add the baking soda to only what I will use the day of... I simply add the baking soda to the unthawed mix prior to cooking...In fact I prefer the mix that has been frozen, it seems to be tastier.... IMHO shallow fry method is the best way to cook these 💕 I love falafels especially when Im on a no-meat kick, I've seen vids making these with lentils which I shall try soon...Chef John your my fav cooking show, I love your puns and sense of humour thanks for your videos 🎉

    What can I say! AMAZING - WOW! I have so far miserably failed at making falafel but this recipe .... great from the start attempt. Thank you so much, Chef! Delicious falafel, and not even deep fried. 100 out of 10 :)

    Your recipes have never failed me. Just made this recipe today and the falafel was as good as the ones I've had in the middle east growing up. 100% trust your tastebuds and cooking expertise to do right by me

      No. Silly summer days are lovely. More like a freaky Mr. Rogers - voice as unauthentic and sickeningly coy.

    I love watching all your videos!. Everything I try comes out excellent and then after I got it down I had my own little speak to it but definitely follow your recipe to a T. And everything is delicious so no need to tell you I've gained a pound or two😳
    And you make it very simple, one thing's for sure sometimes the most simple ingredients as well as recipes are the best. Just want to thank you one thing I'm addicted to are the dolmades I make those all the time and I can't wait to make the falafel!! Just to let you know I really appreciate it your candor as well as your humor.
    Excellent food excellent instruction. Definitely a fan.💯

    great video, very precise. you can swap the flour for some thinly grated potato, or even mashed potato. works every time and makes it gluten free.

    i laughed at the "just ask one of your married friends for their food processor" thing, until it actually came up in conversation, and these falafels are becoming a reality because of that one joke

      Matthew Young People underestimate how flexible the rock can be. We do leave it every once in a while and bring back new food to enjoy. :)
