When I travel around Europe and I’m not sure where to find veggie food, I often look for middle eastern delis. The reason is because they often serve falafel – and where there is falafel, you’re guaranteed to find something vegetarian. 😉

What makes a falafel truly amazing often comes down to the freshness. The best places prepare the mixture in advance, and only cook the balls once they get an order, to make sure they don’t dry out.

These falafels are my homemade version where I’ve added some beet root as a little twist on the traditional falafel.

Enjoy!
