My family has always loved falafel and they were very happy when I gave up the pre-made mix and started making my own.
The only problem I had with my homemade falafel is that the chickpea balls would not always keep their shape, so I decided to add egg.
I also found that it was faster to cook 4 burgers than a bunch of falafel balls... the result is the Mediterranean Chickpea burger.
This is an easy pantry dish to make in the summer. If you happen to see some nice lettuce and tomatoes by the road side pick them up. I keep pita bread frozen and cans of chickpeas in the pantry. I always have yogurt which is great to drizzle on top of this dish. If you have a little bit of red onion you got yourself a full fledged Mediterranean dinner.
