Instructions

It’s hard NOT to love any ingredient when it’s fritter-fied, aka mixed into a batter and cooked until perfectly golden. This falafel-inspired version stars chickpeas, which we mash, then combine with a light tempura batter with shawarma spices, fresh dill, shallot, and garlic. They’re shallow-fried, pancake-style, until crispy, then paired with some of our favorite mezze platter accompaniments: fluffy pita bread, a refreshing Greek salad, salty feta, and a creamy, garlicky white sauce. Now comes the most challenging part of the meal: stacking a little bit of everything on your fork at once to create the perfect bite!
