Falafel Patties with Peanut and Dukkha Mayo

Falafels are gorgeous little fritters of goodness and are made out of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans). The chickpeas are soaked, then ground up, and seasoned with onion and spices like parsley, garlic, cumin and coriander. You’ll love these falafels with a beautiful Best Food mayo twist.
