Falafel, Taratoor Sauce & Tahini (Sesame Butter)

Today I made a couple of recipes. I started with the Falafel (page 194) recipe. Then I went to make the Taratoor Sauce (page 512) but I found I had no tahini in the house so... I had to make my own. Fortunately for me, Miriam gives the Tahini recipe (page 512) right next to the taratoor sauce recipe. I added a little Greek yogurt to the sauce because I wanted it thicker. Everything tasted good but it is a lot of preparation to make falafels. First, you must "soak beans overnight" then "cook for 2 1/2 hours" then "soak the bulgar for at least an hour" and finally "allow falafels to dry in the sun for an hour" before cooking them. Whew!
