Transform your basic can of chickpeas into these easy, light, and fluffy falafel! They make a delicious, portable lunch that you can enjoy on top of salad, tucked into pitas, or on top of rice. For dinner, serve them family style on a big platter of chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, diced peppers, and fresh herbs for a taste of the Mediterranean. It turns out that falafel is also excellent crumbled over scrambled eggs and topped with a shake of hot sauce for breakfast or any time. This recipe is easy to double for a crowd, too.
