Whether you’re trying to cut back on meat or just looking for something different to make for dinner, homemade falafel is the solution. This classic Middle Eastern dish is actually surprisingly easy to make at home. You can even prepare the chickpea mixture ahead of time, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook the falafel balls when you’re ready to eat. Toss them in pita bread or on top of salad for a feel-good meal you’ll want to make over and over again.
