Cooking description:
More on how to cook Israeli falafel below. From this amount of ingredients, 12-14 falafel balls are obtained. Instead of parsley, you can use cilantro, it is more aromatic. Or take a mixture of parsley and cilantro. If the minced meat turns out to be too liquid, you can add bread crumbs or a couple of spoons of boiled bulgur. I do not recommend using flour. It turns out to be balanced in taste, not too spicy, not spicy, juicy enough and incredibly tasty! Serve this falafel with fresh vegetables, tahini and pita bread.
