Falafel for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Falafel for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The fresh and citrusy profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced seven-spice baharat blend used that way before.

the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. I explained the a mezze spread for a large gathering context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. arak was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
