Baked Falafel - August 29

Made a batch of Baked Falafel Balls, a recipe from the Whole Foods Market Cookbook. Basically, these are chickpea and bulghur balls mixed with spices, garlic and onion, formed into balls, sprayed with olive oil and baked instead of fried. They came out golden brown, crunchy on the outside but a little dry on the inside. I used the small food processor when I really should have used the big one and so I think the consistency perhaps wasn't as it should be. ( I had to do 2 batches in the small processor). They definitely needed some tahini to go with them; I used salad dressing in my pita falafel sandwich instead.

Would try again to see if consistency was better.
