Homemade falafel is one of the most delicious and healthy dishes.

Along with tehini and chopped vegetable salad this is a light and wonderful meal, especially on hot summer days.

The only problem with making a classic homemade falafel, is that you have to remember to soak the chickpeas in advance, which makes the whole thing a little less spontaneous.

Olga Tuchsher from the secret ingredient recipe blog, has found the solution - burgul falafel that is prepared in a few minutes with fresh herbs and cooked chickpeas (you can also reduce canned food).

And if you are not yet convinced to run and make it, we will tell you that this falafel does not even require to stand over a pot of oil and fill the whole house with the smell of fryers, because this falafel is simply baked in the oven.
