Falafel For 100

 I attend a church that believes intentional community nourishes the soul.  What better way to accomplish this than by simultaneously nourishing our bodies?  Every Sunday we eat a meal together.  The meal is made by various volunteers who slave over the planning, shopping, and cooking for about one hundred people.  I am one of those volunteers and I LOVE it.  Most recently, I decided that making falafel would be easy, as I could make it a day ahead of time and heat it up just before serving.  I severely underestimated the laboring that I would need to do, especially since I do not own a food processor.  Thank goodness for friends that do, and for mothers who stay over until midnight to help make the dough. 



  350 falafel balls later...



And don't think I forgot the tzatziki sauce.


These are gluten free and vegan (sans the sauce) and even our meat lovers liked them.  And now I have a gallon bag of leftovers in my freezer for a rainy day.

  3. I am always interested in taking leftover falafels off your hands. You should teach me how to make them. PS we should do some canning this summer! Love you my friend.
