This falafel dish is a testament to the wisdom of traditional Middle Eastern cooking, with a twist. We’ve thrown in some quinoa instead of the traditional burghul and we think you’ll love it. Falafels are delicious but thirsty little creatures, so don’t be afraid to be generous with hummus and lemon.
