In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Falafel are balls or patties of ground chickpeas or broad beans mixed with herbs and spices, then deep-fried until crisp. They are tucked into wraps and pitta with salad and tahini sauce, or served on a meze plate.

These numbers are for the falafel alone; the wrap, tahini sauce and fries in a falafel meal add on top.
