DIRECTIONS:

To make falafel, combine all ingredients (except olive oil) in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture forms into a dough. Shape into 3-inch balls and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place falafel in pan and cook 5-6 minutes on one side. Flip falafel and cook until golden brown, 5-6 minutes more.

For the sauce, mix together all ingredients in a small bowl.

Serve falafel over vegetables of choice, salad or in a pita with sauce, pine nuts, and feta.
