Notes
- Falafel is freezing nicely, so it makes sense to make a big batch, freeze it and use later for different dishes: savory pies, veggie burgers, pizza, power bowls, vegan hot dogs, stuffed vegetables, wraps, curry, gyros, salads, Scotch eggs and falafel waffles. See the link above for different ways to eat falafel.
