Mediterranean Feast

Today I made a Mediterranean feast. I made baba ghanouj and falafels, both for the first time.


You can see my kitchen lights in the chickpea soaking water. 


Roasted eggplant for baba ghanouj.


Mmmm...


Baba. This was damn-near perfect.


Falafels. (Or just "falafel"?) These weren't quite right. For some reason I ended up having to add a ton of flour to the batter for it to stick together and form a ball. This made the finished product taste more like a bland hush-puppy than a Mediterranean delicacy. Whatever it's deep-fried.


Feast!
