Spinach Falafel
If you're like us, you crave falafel regularly but WHO IN THE FUCK has a deep fryer? This recipe's got all the flavor you fancy AND it's a great way to sneak more spinach into your diet.
Soak the chickpeas in the water and apple cider vinegar on the counter for 8-12 hours. Just do this shit before you go to sleep or in the morning before you leave for work and you’re good.
When you're ready to fuck with some falafel, drain and rinse the chickpeas and throw them in a food processor. Pulse them up until the pieces look like grains of rice. Fold in the spinach, parsley, onion, garlic, chia, cumin, salt, and baking powder and pulse until everything is mixed up into a delicious green mess. No more chunks of chickpeas or onions, just a dough-like mixture. Make a bunch of ping pong sized balls outta the mix and flatten them a little into patties.
In a large skillet or fry pan warm enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan over a medium-high heat. Added a few of the patties at a time, making sure the pan doesn't get too crowded. Fry each side until they're golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with some hummus, veggies, and pita if you know what the fuck is up.

Tahini Sauce
Every holiday season someone brings a dry ass veggie platter with ranch to an office party. Sad. But you'd never bring that to a party.
Smokey Eggplant Dip (Baba Ganoush)
Eggplant is abundant as fuck this time of year so you can buy them on the cheap. Not sure what the hell to do with an eggplant? Grab that Grimace-looking son of a bitch and roast the shit out of it so you can whip together this dope dip.
