Falafel Revisited

This cook night (not mine) turned me on to The Joy of Cooking. I'd never really considered it before, it seemed, I dunno, full of meat dishes and old-fashioned? But there's only one way to judge a book, and that's by its recipes. Specifically, in this case, by its falafel recipe--Joy's uses the magical properties of blended, uncooked chickpeas in place of the usual chickpea-egg combination. We lightly fried them as patties rather than balls, so while they taste great, they don't look as official as these falafels over at One Hot Stove. I'll have to make them both one day to compare/contrast. Hopefully then I'll also be able to replace this lame picture. You're just going to have to trust me, they're yummy!
